New Zealand Soldiers have been told not to attend public Anzac Day commemorations in a bid to stop the spread of Covid-19 to veterans.

The Defence Force says it's a preventative measure to reduce the risk of transmission between young fit personnel who may have minor or no symptoms to older veterans.
