Hon CHRIS HIPKINS: The orange setting allows for schools to respond to the level of risk present in their school communities, and to make appropriate decisions to put additional measures in place, like the continued wearing of face masks. The Ministry of Education will be encouraging schools to retain their current settings at school for tomorrow, so that they have time to plan for any changes they might wish to make when students return after the school holidays. The decision to move to orange has been made based on public health advice, and it reflects the fact that New Zealanders are showing clear signs that Omicron has now peaked, and we're on the way down the other side.
