Hon CHRIS HIPKINS: At orange, there are now no indoor or outdoor capacity limits, but there is guidance on holding safe events, and face masks continue to be required in many indoor settings. Bars and restaurants are no longer required to enforce the seated and separated rules, although they can choose to keep them if they wish to. The move to orange allows us to balance more freedoms for New Zealanders, while keeping some of the tools we know are effective—reducing the spread of Omicron.
