To minimise the spread of COVID-19 this summer, we all need to play our part. We’re asking everyone to stick to the basics.

Get tested if you’re unwell, even if you’re vaccinated, and stay at home until you receive a negative result.

Be sure to wear a mask or face covering when you’re out and about, keep track of where you have been using the NZ COVID Tracer App, or a manual diary, and have your My Vaccine Pass ready for use wherever it is required.

Finally, if you’re not vaccinated yet, please get your first dose today. Getting vaccinated is the best way for New Zealanders to protect themselves, their loved ones, whānau and communities from COVID-19.

Testing reminder

Unvaccinated people who are asymptomatic and require surveillance COVID-19 testing for travel need to get a supervised rapid antigen test from a pharmacy, within 72 hours of travel.

This testing is for people over the age of 12 years and 3 months who are not fully vaccinated and do not have COVID-19 symptoms, and includes unvaccinated people travelling out of Auckland.

Rapid antigen testing at pharmacies is currently only available at no cost for people who are not yet vaccinated and need to get tested for travel.

Anyone with any COVID-19 symptoms is asked to get a PCR test at a community testing centre or a GP and stay at home until a negative result is returned.

People who are vaccinated do not need to get a rapid antigen test or a PCR test for travel, so long as they carry their My Vaccine Pass.

People getting tested for the right reasons at the right places will help ensure that test results continue to be returned in a timely way.

The location and hours of pharmacies offering rapid antigen tests will be available from Healthpoint.
