At all levels

Business/service Restrictions are the same if My Vaccine Pass is required from customers or not
All
  • For more information on worker vaccination requirements, please see Ministry of Transport.

    COVID-19 transport information(external link) — Ministry of Transport

  • Workplaces must display QR tracing codes, as must public transport, but other vehicles are not required to do this.
  • In general, workers do not need to scan QR codes if it is their usual place of work. However, all other persons on the premises are encouraged to scan or use alternative record keeping.
  • My Vaccine Pass can’t be required for people accessing public transport. However, air travel and Cook Strait Ferries may have My Vaccine Pass or testing requirements for customers.
  • If a worker needs to, as part of their work, access a site that undertakes food and drink services, close proximity services, events, or entertainment, recreation and exercise services as part of their work (eg delivering produce to or repairing plumbing at a restaurant), then they must follow the rules for this activity. This includes a requirement to be vaccinated. For more information, see:
