Auckland's Homeshow seeks govt Level 2 exemption for November

From First Up, 5:47 am on 27 August 2021

The organisers of Auckland's Homeshow are asking the Government for a level 2 exemption so the event can go ahead in November. The show, which has been postponed for the third time in the past year due to lockdowns, can only go ahead in level 1 because indoor gatherings are restricted to 100 people. But organisers say they can run a safe event in Level 2 and it's no different to being in a shopping mall. Ella Stewart reports.
