Removal of the COVID-19 Protection Framework
On 11:59pm on 12 September 2022, the COVID-19 Protection Framework was removed. It’s now safe to move on from the traffic light system. From now on we just need to isolate for 7 days if positive, and wear a mask when visiting health and aged care places.
What was the Protection Framework?
New Zealand moved to the COVID-19 Protection Framework, also known as the traffic lights, on 3 December 2021. This new approach to COVID-19 introduced more freedoms for vaccinated New Zealanders.
The COVID-19 Protection Framework was simplified on Friday 25 March to help us manage our lives with Omicron while also lessening the impact of future outbreaks.
COVID-19 Protection Framework used a 3-level approach (Red / Orange / Green) to manage COVID-19 in the community.
Below is information about the removal of the COVID-19 Protection Framework in each of our Pacific languages.
