We need every New Zealander to remain vigilant to the threat that Covid-19 poses to our country.
Having no cases in the community does not mean we can afford to be complacent.
We need everyone to be keeping a record of their movements and the app is an easy way to do that.
Please make an effort to scan in when there are QR codes on display when you are out and about.
