If you’re worried that the part of the country you’re heading to for summer might get thrown into Red under the new Traffic Light System, I don’t reckon you need to worry. Because Red means no festivals, it means smaller weddings and smaller crowds in bars. In Red, you’re only allowed 100 people whether it’s indoors or outdoors. So I’m betting Tairawhiti, the DHB around Gisborne, has to go Orange Whatever its vaccination rate is. The clue that this is likely is that the ministers refuse to tell us what vaccination rate puts DHBs into Orange.
