Workplaces, education facilities, public • Do not attend if you have COVID-19 transport and supermarkets are not symptoms, or if you need to be considered gatherings. isolation/quarantine for any reason.

Exercise at Alert Level 3 Exercise and recreation is an important part of maintaining our health and wellbeing. However, there is a very high risk of transmission if we come into contact with others, touch common equipment or surfaces, or need rescuing or medical care. We need to keep doing our bit so that our gains in Alert Level 4 aren’t compromised. You can do activities that are local, safe, and do not involve interaction with other people outside your bubble. The most important thing is to stay safe. Do low-risk activities, so you don’t need rescuing or medical care. You should also keep a 2 metre distance from people who aren’t in your bubble. You can do more activities at Alert Level 3 but only if you’re experienced and do them safely. These include: • surfing — if you are an experienced surfer, you can go to your local break. If you’re not experienced, don’t surf • fishing — if you want to go fishing you can do so from a wharf or the shore, but don’t cast off the rocks or fish from a boat. Boating is not allowed • tramping — is okay for day walks on easy trails. Remember to keep your distance from other people • mountain biking — if you are experienced and know the trail • hunting — you can hunt on private land, but not on public conservation land. You need to stay within your region and stick to your bubble. Overnight trips are not allowed. You may only hunt on foot — using quad bikes, off-road bikes, helicopters and other motorised vehicles is not allowed. Boating, yachting and any team sports or training are not allowed. Now is not the time to take up new activities, or expose yourself or your bubble to any risk. Use your common sense — stay local, stay safe.

Where you can exercise Stick to your local area. For example, go to your nearest beach or park, not your favourite one. Staying overnight at a bach or holiday home is not permitted. You should drive as short a distance as you can and still do the activity. If you live on a regional boundary, this might mean travelling to a neighbouring region. This is fine as long as it’s still local and a close distance from your home. Creatin the perfect home ust for ou
