Covid-19 – Information

Unitec has withdrawn its Covid-19 Policy, in line with the Government’s retiring of the Covid-19 Protection Framework (Traffic light system).

 

Government Health Advice

The government has removed mandatory public health requirements for Covid-19. Here’s a quick summary of what this means for us:

  • If you test positive for Covid-19, you are no longer legally required too self-isolate.  However, we recommended that you isolate and keep away from our campus for 5 days (please see side – Contact Tracing Information).
  • Masks are no longer mandatory anywhere.
  • For our Healthcare kaimahi/staff and ākonga/students (such as Nursing students on placement), our own policies around mask wearing will apply
  • Rapid Antigen Tests (RATs) can be obtained from pharmacies.

Full Covid-19 health advice can be found at: Unite against COVID-19 (covid19.govt.nz)

Our campuses are open, and there are no mask or vaccination requirements.
