Video / NZ HeraldDuring a visit to the University of Auckland PM Jacinda Ardern said that the Covid traffic light system will be reviewed, and potentially scrapped in the next 'couple of weeks'. Ardern said the Government was not just looking at a review of the traffic light system but at "broader settings more generally". "We've been living with the traffic light system for upwards to a year now - now is the time for us to look at whether all those settings are fit for purpose. The requirement for visitors to wear a mask would only extend to primary care, urgent care, hospitals, aged residential care, and disability-related residential care.
