Most of the country will wake up in level 2 on Wednesday morning.
The key differences to the previous level 2 restrictions are limits on gatherings. Indoors, such as in hospitality settings or event venues, the maximum number of people allowed is now 50.
Outdoors, it is 100 – and records must be kept of attendees at both indoor and outdoor events.
Social distancing at indoor venues has also increased, from 1 metre previously, to 2 metres under the new alert level 2.

Since returning to the South Island five years ago, Russell has been proud to witness Christchurch’s resurgence.
“Christchurch is like a phoenix risen from the ashes, with a tremendous opportunity to redefine itself.” And now he is playing his part in reimagining our city’s aged care offering.
Russell has built his team at The Bellevue with one goal in mind. “As the Care Manager I believe I have a principle responsibility to set the scene in providing an environment where staff can truly excel, feel empowered and make a positive difference to the lives of residents, families and each other.”
During the transition to care, extra support is provided. “Our fantastic Guest Services Manager is the key to helping residents feel at ease when they first move in, as she provides a hospitality overlay. She’ll get to know you so that she can provide all the extra touches that make you feel at home,” says Russell.
Another initiative Russell is proud of is that couples can stay together in the same room, even if their needs are not aligned. Russell has seen the impact it has on residents - “It is just wonderful to offer couples Care Suites which allow couples to stay together – just as they always have,” says Russell.
To find out more about our Care Suites, with Rest Home and Hospital level care, get in touch with Russell today.

Poll: Christchurch: Is confiscating recycle bins something you support?
Hi Christchurch,
Almost 1300 Christchurch households no longer have a yellow bin as the city council continues to take a hard line on trashy recycling practices.

Almost 1300 Christchurch households no longer have a yellow bin as the city council continues to take a hard line on trashy recycling practices.
During the past 12 months 1468 bins have been confiscated from properties following numerous warnings.
Just 177 have been returned, leaving 1291 households with no ability to have their recycling collected at the kerb.
Christchurch City Council took action after an unprecedented number of recycling bins were filled with non-recycleable material following the Covid-19 lockdown last year.
Do you think confiscating recycle bins is the right approach for our city?
-
65.3% Yes - confiscate them
-
26.2% No - there's a better way (tell us in comments)
-
8.5% I'm undecided
African Violet leaves wanted !
I’m hoping to grow some plants and was looking unsuccessfully at plant shops before lockdown .
Now my idea is to hopefully grow my own from leaf cuttings .
Would anyone have a leaf to spare of different plant colours ?

It was the moment many New Zealanders had been waiting for – as the clock ticked over to midnight, Kiwis were able to head out to satisfy their cravings for takeaways.
And for people keen for a McDonald’s, KFC or Burger King after two weeks without their favourite junk food, it was mana from heaven.
What did you miss most when we were in alert level 4?
Confused?
To is a preposition with several meanings, including “toward” and “until.”
Too is an adverb that can mean “excessively” or “also.”
Two is also pronounced the same as to and too, but it can’t be used instead of either of them because it’s a number.
