Restrictions to be eased in Waikato Covid boundary

From Checkpoint, 5:11 pm on 27 October 2021

People in parts of Waikato and King Country are seeing restrictions loosened slightly, to alert level 3 step 1, the same as Auckland's current settings.

Hamilton, Raglan, Waipa, Waitomo and Ōtorohanga districts will stay at level three until at least Monday, but from 11:59pm Wednesday, people can do things like join another household outside, go hunting, fishing and even scuba diving. Andrew McRae reports.
