Show Notes
The hospitality sector has questions about enforcement of the Covid tracer app.
The Government's making scanning or manually signing in compulsory, in the hope to improve contact tracing.
It will apply to businesses and events, and come into effect seven days after the next change in Alert Level.
Hospitality New Zealand chief executive Julie White told Kate Hawkesby they still don't know how it will be enforced and what happens with non-compliance.
“It’s going to be essentially a cost to the business by then refusing entry if someone comes in. And then you’ve got the added stress on the workforce.”
