The Ministry of Health is calling on Kiwis heading to Sunday's Bledisloe Cup match to "play it safe" and remain vigilant about COVID-19, despite New Zealand being at alert level 1.
The All Blacks will clash with the Wallabies in Wellington on Sunday afternoon, one of the first major events the country has held since it transitioned back to alert level 1 following the Auckland August outbreak.
The Ministry of Health says that while we are at alert level 1, with no restrictions on events or gathering sizes, supporters should "play it safe" by following health guidance.
"COVID-19 is contained at alert level 1, and the ministry continues to recommend keeping a safe distance from people you don't know while out and about," it said on Saturday.
"Consider wearing a mask or face covering when physical distancing is difficult. For those planning on attending the game: please stay home if you are feeling unwell."
Anyone who is unwell should ring Healthline, their GP or a nurse practitioner for advice about whether they need to get tested and where testing stations are being stood up.
"Use the NZ COVID Tracer app to check in on all public transport (including buses and trains) or keep a record of the times and route you took to get to the game.
"Sign in using the NZ COVID Tracer app upon arrival at the stadium and take note of your seat number. If you do not have the app, keep a record of when you arrived and left the game."
Kiwis can practice good hygiene by washing or sanitising their hands regularly, particularly upon entering and leaving the stadium. Sneeze or cough into your elbow if necessary.
"Following these steps will help to minimise the spread of COVID-19 if community transmission returns."
On Saturday, New Zealand recorded four COVID-19 cases, both of which were in managed isolation. Aotearoa has no active community cases.
