QR scanning or manual sign in MANDATORY at all alert levels
"It is clear that when people use the app or manually sign in, rather than relying on memory, contact tracing can happen much more quickly," Hipkins said. Businesses already needed to display codes at all alert levels. We are making it mandatory at the sorts of places where people gather consistently and in large numbers to ensure that people scan or sign in," Hipkins said. "This means those responsible for businesses and events will need to ensure people keep a record when they visit, either by scanning QR codes with the Covid-19 Tracer App or making a manual record." At the start of this month, scanning had slumped to its lowest level before Wellington's Covid scare. Only 498,723 scans were recorded on the Covid Tracer app which was the lowest number of scans on the app since June 22. There were 21 new Covid-19 community cases in New Zealand today, bringing this outbreak's total to 72.

🪱🐦 When are you the most productive? 🌙🦉
The Post has been diving into our daily habits, and research suggests being an early bird or a night owl isn’t just a choice—it’s biology! We all have that specific time when our brains finally "click" into gear.
This raises a big question for the modern workplace. To get the best out of everyone, should employers accommodate our natural body clocks? This idea is at the heart of the four-day work week and flexible scheduling movements.
We want to hear from you:
1. When does your brain "click" into gear?
2. Would a flexible (or shortened) schedule change the way you work?
