Church leaders are weighing up if they will re-open only to vaccinated people when the traffic light system kicks in.

That comes with a need to show a vaccine passport as the other option at orange - a limit of 50 people one metre apart - isn't workable.
Many churches in Auckland are already preparing to deliver Christmas services online.
