Punters at Wellington's Danger Danger bar on Courtenay Place welcome the start of alert level 1. Sky Stadium chief executive Shane Harmon said once it became clear a move to alert level 1 was imminent, the pressure valve was released. The bar owner believed the move down to alert level 1 this week could be a turning point for many Wellington hospitality businesses. People have been cooped up for three months, and they want to get out and see their friends just as much as they want to support local businesses," McLaughlin said.
