- Update 25th Feb 2022 -

On 3 December 2021, New Zealand adopted the Covid Protection Framework referred to as the Traffic Light System.

On 24 January 2022, New Zealand moved from the Orange Traffic Light setting to the Red Traffic Light setting.

ONI is categorised as an indoor recreation facility, and will operate using a vaccine certificate system while the Traffic Light System is in place. This means that you will only be able to enter the facility if you have a verifiable My Vaccine pass.

By following vaccine pass requirements, ONI can remain open at both Orange and Red settings. Without following vaccine pass requirements, ONI would be closed. We fully recognise that everyone has a right to choose and we respect everybody’s personal beliefs. For our studio to remain operating at a viable level though, we must do so as a vaccine-mandated facility.

HOW WILL ONI OPERATE AT RED?

  • Staff will wear medical-grade (level 2 or above) face masks

  • Clients may remove face masks when exercising

  • One-metre distancing between clients

  • Limited capacity in the studio (standard at all levels)

  • Covid tracer app must be used on arrival (standard at all levels)

*Please note that those with a mask exemption certificate are not required to wear a mask, and are exempt from the mask policy rules above.

HOW WILL ONI OPERATE AT ORANGE?

  • Medical-grade face masks are no longer required by government guidelines, but is encouraged

  • Distancing between clients is no longer required

  • Limited capacity in the studio (standard at all levels)

  • COvid tracer app must be used on arrival (standard at all levels)

HOW WILL ONI OPERATE AT GREEN?

  • Detailed guidelines are yet to be made available by the government and Exercise New Zealand, but it does look like there are minimal restrictions at Green setting. We will be updating this as soon as we can.

At all levels, the ONI team will continue to operate with increased hygiene and cleaning protocols. We value this space and want to keep it as safe as we can for ourselves and our wonderful clients.
