Traffic Light Settings Announced For Aotearoa

More details on the forthcoming traffic light system were revealed by Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern this afternoon. From 11:59pm, Thursday 2nd December, Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland along with a number of North Island districts will transition from alert Level 3 to Red, while the rest of NZ will shift to Orange, these settings will be in place for the next two weeks. This is excellent news for many upcoming gigs, as venues using vaccine passes at Orange can run live shows without audience restrictions [fistpump] under the new COVID-19 Protection Framework, just in time for the forthcoming weekend. Here's what each traffic light setting means for our live music community, according to the covid19.govt.nz site:
