Latest COVID-19 Advice
We are operating under the Government alert system from the government and are currently at Level 1 i.e. Be Ready from 7 March 2021. We are following government directives which are ultimately working towards eliminating the COVID-19 virus.
We have policies, guidelines and resources that will help you adjust your activities to any level we are on.
Key information from the latest Level 1 guidance as it relates to Faith Communities is sumarised below:
Alert Level 1 requires that you
- Keep your distance from other people in public places especially if you don’t know them.
- Maintian good hygiene – Keep up good handwashing practices, using soap and water for at least 20 seconds, and drying thoroughly. Cough and sneeze into your elbow. Keep surfaces clean.
- Keep a note of where you have been and who you have seen, use the Government COVID-19 Tracing app if you can.
- Wear a face mask – Continuing good habits with face coverings will keep you and others safe, even at Alert Level 1. It helps stop droplets spreading when someone speaks, laughs, coughs or sneezes.
- Make sure you have access to face-masks. At Level 1 now you must wear a mask on all public transport, including long distance bus services, all trains and most ferries. Taxi/uber drivers must wear masks and this is recommended for passengers but not compulsory. Have a look at current advice on the use of these. Please follow Government recommendations for mask use when using public transport. Be prepared by having a supply of face coverings for everyone who usually lives in your household. Add some to your household emergency kit.
Have a look at current advice on the use of these.
Advice for all Alert levels:
- Be kind. Drop supplies to those at home sick and ensure you have no physical contact.

In Short:
- While not requiring physical distancing, we are encouraging this to continue, especially being sensitive of other’s needs (physical distancing) in pews.
- Make sure you have access to face-masks. At Level 1 you must wear a mask on all public transport, including long distance bus services, all trains and most ferries.
- We All churches must display the NZ COVID Tracer poster . If you don’t have a smart phone, keep a note of where you have been and who you have seen.
- Some at-risk people may still not be comfortable in a larger group – offer other ways of staying in touch with them i.e. the phone, a video messaging system or something similar
- We are continuing to maintain high standards of public health (around cleaning, providing hospitality and so on)
- Be kind. Make a difference by checking-in on others, especially the elderly and vulnerable
- Look after anyone that needs help. Drop supplies to those at home sick and ensure you have no physical contact.
