NZ unveils traffic light system with 90% vaccination target

“Vaccinations are our armor,” said New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern while revealing the new governmental measures to battle the coronavirus during Friday morning in Asia.

“In a suite of announcements that establish a pathway out of restrictions the NZ government is also providing up to $940 million per fortnight to support businesses through the challenging period, particularly those in Auckland,” said Herald.

While red, orange and green tags term the measures are traffic light, some additional details are as follows:
– Vaccination passports – to visit bars and visit close business settings, you will need to be vaccinated.

– Highly targeted and localized lockdowns may be used if needed.

– First step is with high vaccination rates, target is 90% full vaccinated for each DHB all over the country.

– Auckland will move into the red setting as soon as all three boards hit the 90 percent fully vaccination target.
