All of New Zealand will move to alert level 4 at 11.59pm after a new community Covid-19 case emerged in Auckland.

New Zealand will initially spend three days at alert level 4, except for Auckland and the Coromandel, which will remain at level 4 for seven days at this stage.
What are the rules at alert level 4?
Staying at home
People are asked to stay at home, unless they are undertaking essential travel to the supermarket or dairy, seeking necessary medical care or being tested for Covid-19, or to get physical exercise in their neighbourhood.
Unnecessary trips outdoors have spread the variant overseas, Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said.
She advised people to wear a mask when leaving the house, and stay 2 metres away from others. “Stay local, do not congregate. Don't talk to your neighbours.”
Schools, workplaces and business
Businesses will be closed, except for essential services such as supermarkets, pharmacies, health clinics, petrol stations and lifeline utilities.
Only essential workers are permitted to go to work, others must work from home.
Schools and universities will shut down, and travel is severely limited.
Events and recreation
All gatherings are cancelled at alert level 4.
All public venues, including libraries, pools, leisure centres, gyms, early childcare centres, community venues and playgrounds are closed. Some public toilets will remain open.
Many large events have been canned.
Staying in your bubble
Once you go into a bubble you must stay in it, Ardern said.
If you are completely isolated, or you live alone, you can join a bubble with one other person.
Households are advised to nominate just one person to go shopping, and “always act like you have Covid-19”.
Travelling home
There is a grace period of 48 hours for people who are away from home to return home, if they cannot shelter safely in place. After this time, movement between regions will be restricted.
Covid-19 jabs
Covid-19 vaccinations will be suspended for 48 hours to ensure they can be carried out safely.

With three 10 minute speakers and member sharing. Participants can join the web event from their phone, desktop, mobile and tablet devices. ALL WELCOME
The purpose of the web events is to carry the message to newcomers who live in areas where there are no AEA meetings and to strengthen areas where there are sole AEA members. These events are not designed to replace face-to-face meetings. Rather, we hope that face-to-face meetings will grow and increase as a result of having regular web events.

How were you impacted by the snowfall?
It was a short, snowy blast for residents in Canterbury this week as temperatures plummeted, bringing with it magnificent photo-ops and significant disruptions.
Fine but cold weather is set to last for the next few days in Canterbury before a southerly change brings with it gale force winds and rain.
Wild and chilly weather closed roads, left several residents without power, and overwhelmed ski fields as a cold front made its way up the South Island.
"The weather is going to be fairly changeable – you'll get northwesterlies and southwesterlies and brief rain and then some fine spells, so it's fairly busy but nothing too dramatic at this stage," MetService meteorologist Rob Kerr said.
Hundreds of motorists were trapped as heavy snowfall closed alpine passes. Arthur's Pass and Porter's Pass and the Lewis Pass reopened on Sunday and through Monday morning.
Snow fell down to 100m and those in Christchurch central were greeted with snow flurries.
How have these weather disruptions affected you? Let us know in a reply below and don't forget to type NFP if you don't want your comment used in the Northern Outlook.

Will need to be dismantled by you to take away. My gate is too narrow for it to pass through. I have 6 foot fences. Parts of it may be able the be lifted over, if you have people to do so.
This is not a quick job. It will take a while to dismantle. It will need a trailer and at least a couple of people to do it.
Is very heavy even once dismantled.
Would prefer that you come check it out first to make sure it is something that you want.
See times available this week below.
Once you looked and decided you want I won't give it to anyone else if you take it within a week or so.
These are the only times this week to look.

Thursday late afternoon
You will not be able to view it in the weekends.

Christchurch will get a 30,000-seat stadium after the city council bowed to public pressure and ditched an earlier decision to build a smaller venue.

The larger stadium will cost an additional $50 million, lifting the total budget to $523m, but some councillors have warned the cost could escalate well past $600m.
If the $50m cannot be found elsewhere, Christchurch ratepayers will end up paying an additional $13.70 in rates each year for 29 years from 2024-25 – the cost of an annual takeaway burger combo.
