A reminder of the general principles for operating at Level 3:
- Hospitality businesses can operate under Alert Level 3 for contactless delivery and pick-up (including drive-through) of pre-prepared food and beverages. Customers cannot enter your premises.
- Businesses must take health measures to keep their workers safe – maintain physical distance between workers, recording who is working together, limiting interaction between groups of workers, disinfecting surfaces, and maintaining high hygiene standards.
- People are still instructed to stay home unless for essential personal movement. Essential personal movement is for activities such as accessing local services and businesses, recreation or work and school.
- Customers need to scan in when picking up their orders, using the Covid-19 Tracer app or an alternative system you have available.
As further advisory is received, or updated, existing guidance will be reviewed and may need to be changed.
