Our premises will be open with the following requirements still being in place and followed:-
Masks are required in all public areas and office space where you cannot maintain social distancing.
Contract tracing, scanning or signing in at all SIT buildings.
Until we have a vaccination policy and vaccine pass verification, at this time you will be unable to use the following SIT facilities:-
Gyms located at any of our premises (unless being used as a teaching facility)
Hairdressing (for public appointments )
Beauty therapy (for public appointments)
The café at Invercargill is not a dine in facility so therefore will be accessible however, you must wear your face mask at all times in the café and surrounding area (unless you are seated and eating).
SIT Accommodation
All current residents in SIT accommodation will be required to be fully vaccinated by 24 December 2021. Incoming residents in 2022 will be required to show proof of vaccination prior to their arrival.
My Vaccine Pass
We are working on the implementation of the My Vaccine Pass across our premises and this will be rolled out as soon as possible. In the meantime, we must treat our facilities as if we are not using the My Vaccine Pass verification and therefore tighter restrictions will apply. These restrictions are detailed above.
Keep up health habits
Even though we are a highly vaccinated country, COVID-19 can still spread in our communities. To slow the spread of the virus, and continue to help protect you, your whānau, and your community, it is important to keep up the healthy habits we know.
- Regularly wash and thoroughly dry your hands or use hand sanitiser.
- Sneeze and cough into your elbow.
- Keep your distance from people you do not know.
- Clean or disinfect shared surfaces often.
- If you have cold, flu or COVID-19 symptoms, stay home and get a test.
