We have finally been accepted as 'critical' under the critical worker scheme — Jade
The RAT results can be recorded via the My Covid Record — TracyRichardson
notify the result of any rapid antigen test taken by the critical worker—
- to their employer before leaving their place of self-isolation to undertake permitted work or permitted work travel; and
- to the Ministry of Health in a manner required by a Director-General notice
the person undergoes daily symptom checks by following the instructions as set out on the Ministry of Health website
↪MattD2 Yes close contact scheme is correct. We were initially declined first attempt to register as a critical service. So, we have had to go back and do it again. Seemingly the process was different this time and we were given acceptance. It is a little mind boggling we were ever declined as without us, 8 DHB's cannot operate safely. — Jade
will they be able to comply with the requirement of the order to "travel by a private means of transport, either alone or with a fellow resident only" (doesn't look like the Director-General has specified any other means they can travel...yet - but that's what you get when legislation is hastily written by those that don't live the reality of a lot of NZ, such as not having their own vehicle).A lot of our staff do not have a car or do not drive to work themselves — Jade
My take was (and this is just my interpretation) that businesses would not get any confirmation of acceptance/approval to use the scheme.Step 3 says the email that we receive after we registered is not an approval. — Yonny Yeung
