Covid Protection Framework for Rowing Clubs

  • 01 Dec 21

COVID-19 Protection Framework (CPF)

New Zealand moves to the COVID Protection Framework also known as the traffic light system, on 3 December. This new approach to COVID-19 will introduce more freedoms for vaccinated New Zealanders.

Key Dates

29 November: Cabinet announced the traffic lights settings for New Zealand

2 December: At 11:59pm, all New Zealand will move to the framework

Under the new CPF, rowing can take place with restrictions implemented geographically to protect at-risk people and minimise the risk of community transmission.

Your setting will depend on where you are in Aotearoa New Zealand.

All outdoor parks, fields and playgrounds can open for use, along with public facilities, which will operate under specific settings.

Most rowing can be undertaken under gatherings restrictions. The number that can meet at a gathering depends on whether vaccine passes are required and checked or not.

The attached framework is provided by Rowing NZ to support clubs as they look to respond to the new CPF system.
