Golden Rules During L2 most businesses can open their premises or sites if they can do so safely. Recreational boating is permitted under L2 and Marlborough Sounds Marinas continues to open all marina facilities.

Talk with your workers to identify risks and ways to manage them. Ask everyone, workers, contractors and customers, with cold or flu-like symptoms to stay away from your premises. Keep groups of customers at least 1 metre apart. Keep contact-tracing records of anyone who will have close interaction (workers, contractors or customers).
