Auckland daily compliance release
Police are reminding Aucklanders that travel in and out of
the border
checkpoints remains heavily restricted under
Alert Level 3 and are warning
those without evidence of
permitted travel to expect to be turned around.
Police
operating the checkpoints yesterday dealt with a
significantly higher
volume of vehicles attempting to
travel through the northern and southern
checkpoints,
following Auckland’s move to Alert Level 3.
Those turned
around included people attempting to relocate to a new
home,
travel for shared childcare arrangements or because
they did not have an
exemption.
Under the current
rules, if you are travelling through an alert
level
boundary to relocate your main home on a permanent
basis, your place of
departure cannot be in the Alert
Level 3 area.
You also cannot cross an alert level
boundary to take a child to and from a
shared
caregiver’s place of residence, if your place of departure
or
destination is in an Alert level 3 area.
Anyone
unsure if their reason for travelling across an alert level
boundary
is permitted should check the latest
requirements
here:
https://covid19.govt.nz/travel/permitted-travel-at-different-alert-levels/personal-travel-across-an-alert-level-boundary/#getting-tested-when-crossing-the-boundary
If
you do not provide the required evidence or documentation to
prove you are
travelling for permitted purposes, you are
likely to be turned away.
From 11.59pm tonight, most
people aged 12 and over who are permitted to
travel
across the Alert Level 3 boundary for personal reasons will
need to
get a COVID-19 test before they travel and
provide evidence.
This is in addition to the current
requirement for most permitted workers
travelling across
the Alert level 3 boundary to provide evidence that
they
have had a COVID-19 test in the past seven
days.
