疫苗通过使用-企业要求

根据新的 COVID保护框架在许多地方，要求顾客或顾客出示疫苗通行证将是可选的.  There will be some higher-risk settings where vaccine passes will be required, 以便向公众开放.

在所有级别的COVID - 19防护框架, 企业, 零售, 公共设施一般可以对接种疫苗的人开放.  企业, 事件, 组织, 社区, 和 a range of sectors may legally choose to implement an entry requirement using the Ministry of Health vaccine pass.

如果一个企业, organisation or service does not wish to require vaccine passes on entry, 它们必须在严格限制容量和空间要求的情况下运作. They may need to close in Orange 和/or Red levels of the new COVID保护框架.

卫生部正在开发一个免费的验证应用程序，将在应用程序商店和谷歌Play上提供, for 企业 to use to scan 和 verify a domestic vaccine pass.  The verification app will be available to download later this month.

在疫苗接种令要求接种疫苗的地方，风险评估程序不适用 

2021年10月26日 Government announced a new risk assessment process will be introduced to assist employers to determine what work requires a vaccinated employee.

The risk assessment process will not apply to work that the 新型冠状病毒肺炎 Public Health Response (Vaccinations) Order 2021 specifies must be carried out by people who are fully vaccinated. 

该命令要求工作由完全接种疫苗的人完成, 不需要进行风险评估, nor does an employer have the option to consider whether other public 健康 measures such as physical distancing 和 use of personal protective equipment can minimise the risk of exposure 和 transmission of 新型冠状病毒肺炎.  今年晚些时候，公共卫生立法将引入风险评估程序.

快速抗原检测试验更新

参与快速抗原检测试验的29家企业已经开始使用快速抗原检测. To date, there have been a total of 1,763 rapid antigen tests administered,

试验数据(试验次数), 阳性检测数目, number of invalid tests) is being submitted twice weekly by participants.  数据收集和会议将继续进行，直到2021年11月30日试验结束, 在这些信息被用于更广泛地推广快速抗原检测之前.

Queries about the rapid testing scheme 和 for business to register their interest in being part of further stages of this trial in the coming months, 可定向到 (电子邮件保护)

根据该命令免于强制接种疫苗-建立新的程序和标准

在某些情况下, 边境工作人员, 健康与残疾, 教育和教养工作者可能可以获得免除接种新型冠状病毒肺炎疫苗的豁免. 然而, there are very few situations where a vaccine is contraindicated 和, 像这样, a medical exemption is expected to be rarely required.

A centralised process has now been established to manage vaccine exemptions. The process includes a layer of independence 和 objective criteria. Exemptions previously granted are now void, so people will need to reapply.

Please note that the exceptions process for Border workers, including MIQ 和 port workers covered by the vaccination order, 保持不变.
