Under the orange setting or if you're picking up food in a click-and-collect setting (like in the old level 3 alert level system) you can keep that vaccine pass in your pocket or purse. Good on you for being so eager to share your vaccine status with your local fish & chip shop. Those operators which are required to - but refuse to - enforce vaccine passes could face fines of up to $15,000. Some rely on sighting a person's pass before allowing them to enter. That was the expectation when the traffic light system was being set up but Covid-19 Minister Chris Hipkins suggested last week that it may not be practicable for every person's vaccine pass to be scanned.Īt this stage, it is not mandatory for a business to check a person's vaccine pass using the verifier app. Are bar or cafe owners required to scan every single pass? Vaccine passes are not required at the following places: Supermarkets, pharmacies, health and disability services, petrol stations, public transport, schools and early learning service providers, and housing support services. They also can't be open under the red setting unless using the vaccine pass.
Some businesses, including gyms and hairdressers, along with large-scale events, may want to see vaccine passes under the orange setting. Under the red setting, these establishments are still required to separate customers, keep them seated and limit capacity to 100 people while using vaccine passes. The limit for venues not using passes is 50. Under the orange setting, there are no number limits for venues using vaccine passes.
The main area where Kiwis are likely to need to show their vaccine pass is at hospitality venues, like bars and cafes. Here's the latest on when you'll need a pass and other key information about the traffic light system. It's also the first time we have had to grapple with vaccine passes, which prove that someone has received two doses of a Covid-19 vaccine.
