Retail NZ: We need a date for when vaccine target must be hit

Retail stores operating under Level Three are still pushing Government for a firm date to reopen.

New Zealand will switch to a new traffic light system to suppress Covid when all DHBs reach a 90 per cent vaccination rate.

Businesses will be able to operate at any level — but with increased health and safety measures in the orange and red zone.

But Retail New Zealand's CEO Greg Harford told Andrew Dickens we also need a date for when the population must hit the vaccine target.
