Supply Chain Covid 19 Update: Shift in Alert Levels
Received 11 August 11:36pm

Good evening everyone
 
Apologies if you are receiving this message twice; comms are going out from around our agencies and some of our contact lists overlap. Earlier this evening, the Prime Minister addressed the nation about new positive cases of COVID-19 in the community that have been identified in Auckland. 
  
As of midday tomorrow (Wednesday August 12) the Auckland region (Auckland Council area) will move to Alert Level 3 for 3 days until midnight on Friday 14 August. The rest of New Zealand will move to Alert Level 2.
 
Specific Messaging for the supply chain sector:
  All freight should continue to move as per normal with physical distancing being observed The use of masks and PPE should be as per general instructions (see below)  
Key messages to people in Auckland:
  Travel in and out of Auckland will be restricted to essential travel only, with roadblocks in place Work from home unless you are an essential worker All schools and childcare facilities will be closed except for children of essential service workers. All public facilities, bars, restaurants and businesses should close. Supermarkets, pharmacies, and petrol stations remain open – shop as normal. Food delivery will be available Keep a 2 metre physical distance and wear a mask when in public when you can’t distance.. Stay home if you’re sick, wash your hands, cough or sneeze into your elbow, clean surfaces Keep a record of where you have been, use the NZ COVID app If you have cold or flu like symptoms call your GP or Healthline to book a free COVID-19 test, and get tested if asked The latest information can be found on www.covid19.govt.nz or the Unite Against Covid social media channels Key messages to people outside Auckland:
  The rest of New Zealand moves to Alert Level 2 There will only be essential travel to/from Auckland Don’t panic buy, all businesses outside Auckland are open with social distancing in place. Keep a 2 metre physical distance and wear a mask when in public when you can’t distance. Stay home if you’re sick, wash your hands, cough or sneeze into your elbow, clean surfaces If you are sick call your GP or Healthline to book a free COVID-19 test, and get tested if asked Keep a record of where you have been, use NZ COVID app. The latest information can be found on www.covid19.govt.nz or the Unite Against Covid social media channels These measures are temporary to stop the spread of COVID-19 and will apply for the next three days while information is gathered and contact tracing and testing is underway.
 
The Ministry of Transport is seeking advice as to whether a short extension to physical distancing requirements for public transport (including ferry operators) can be allowed to enable operators to put this into place with least disruption to those seeking to return home; advice will be provided on this tomorrow.
 
This situation is fast-moving and further updates will follow.
