Warm temperatures on the first weekend under Alert Level 3 saw thousands flock to Christchurch’s beaches, hills and parks. Director-general of health Ashley Bloomfield warned on Sunday that breaches of Alert Level 3 could risk a delay to level 2. The incidents led Canterbury police to issue a reminder that any outdoor activity should be low-risk while level 3 restrictions were in place. Officers found a party in progress, which is a breach of level 3 restrictions if those involved are not in the same bubble. "Under no circumstances should anyone be having a party under alert level 3 restrictions," he said.
