CONTACT TRACING

We depend on you for the success of one of the few NYE festivals happening in the world.
The NZ Covid Tracer App QR Code is displayed at all entry points and throughout the festival site.
Please download the app, enable bluetooth tracing and scan the QR code when entering the festival.

KEEP UP THE GOOD HAND WASHING

Extra hand washing facilities are available throughout the festival.
Help keep you and your mates safe by washing your hands.

● Before handling food or drinks
● After using the toilet
● Sneezing, coughing or blowing your nose

The Ministry of Health recommends:
● Washing your hands with soapy water for at least 20 seconds. Then drying thoroughly.
● Cough or sneeze into your elbow

BE KIND

Be kind to your fellow festival mates and staff. We’re stoked we can even be here!

KEEP TRACK OF YOUR TRAVELS

The biggest advantage we can have is to know where we’ve been and how to quickly trace back. Keep note of the bus, plane or taxi you took to get you to and from R&A
