Upper Hutt does u-turn on Covid-19 vaccine passes

Nicholas Boyack Reporter from Community News

Upper Hutt has joined the rest of the country and is now requiring vaccine passes for its buildings. A confirmed Covid-19 case in the Hutt Valley has led to the council reversing its controversial decision not to use vaccine passes for most council facilities, including libraries.
“Given this [case] and the high transmission rate of the Delta strain, we have made the decision to change the settings at our public facilities, moving to more restrictive settings,” the council said in a statement.
Mayor Wayne Guppy is urging everybody to wear masks and follow the guidelines on wearing masks.
