Some businesses refuse to ask customers for vaccine status

Under the traffic light system, hospitality venues are required to check if they want to serve people sitting down – but some business owners say that’s discriminatory and are refusing to ask customers for their vaccine status, Newshub reveals. The Ministry of Business and Innovation told Newshub business owners can choose to check a customer’s My Vaccine Pass or not. But if a hospitality venue doesn’t check, they’ll have to operate under tighter restrictions.
