New Zealand has now moved into the new COVID-19 Protection Framework also known as the Traffic light System. This framework states that as the alert levels change, the requirements on businesses will change, but under all levels, a business will have more freedom to operate if you mandate vaccination certificates. The Government has produced a free verifier app that can be used for in-person verification, however, if companies would like to introduce more sophisticated capabilities, such as integration into existing digital journeys or pre-verification processes, then the technical specification provides enough details for them to do so. We are keen to help all New Zealand businesses hit the ground running now that the Traffic Light System is in play, so we held two virtual seminars where we will explained the technical specifications and how to integrate them into your existing systems. The special Bonus episode, a Pre-001 episode, of The Technology Whisperers brings you the full content of one of the two events. Please enjoy and watch for our 1st Full Episode in January 2020.

There's concern Auckland has to wait longer at the red light. Tamaki Makaurau will move to orange under the Covid-19 Protection Framework at midnight on December 30.  So will every other region in red, except Northland.  Heart of the City CEO, Viv Beck, told Tim Dower going into orange at New Year's Eve will make a difference. “It certainly will give more confidence to visitors, so that's a positive thing.

New Zealand's Covid-19 outbreak looks to have peaked - but there are warnings a drop off in cases could be short lived. Cabinet will today confirm the country's move to the new Covid-19 Protection Framework - the traffic light system that will mean areas which have been under restrictions are much more open for business. There's already uncertainty about how that will affect case numbers - and now there's more to worry about as the new variant Omicron edges closer to New Zealand shores. Here's RNZ's Health correspondent Rowan Quinn.

National Party leader Judith Collins doesn't support the traffic light system. The alert level system will be replaced on December the 3rd, when the country moves to the new Covid-19 Protection Framework of red, orange and green settings. Collins says it will cause confusion, but she told Morning Report she does support businesses requiring people to be vaccinated. "It is simply going to add further confusion to people, and it is something that is not needed if we get 90 percent of people vaccinated." Collins said there are issues in the traffic light system's legal framework, and she thinks Parliament will wind up having to fix the holes after it has been enacted. "I'm very certain we'll be back in a very short period of time having to fix the errors, and that's why you don't shouldn't be doing this."
