This order, which comes into force on 30 April 2020, amends the Health Act (COVID-19 Alert Level 3) Order 2020 (the principal order).

The following changes or clarifications are made to what is permitted as essential personal movement or recreation under the principal order:

• hunting or killing of game birds is prohibited from being undertaken as permitted recreation:

• going to care for pets or other animals is permitted in the same or an adjacent region:

• it is clarified that inspecting a new property includes inspecting a potential new property (though doing so would still need to meet general health and safety requirements for how those inspections are carried out):

• it is clarified that the permission to assist or accompany others when travelling applies only to fellow residents.

The following changes are also made to the list of services in Schedule 2 as follows:

• veterinary services and animal health and welfare services are added as a category A service, so that they can continue to have customers and clients in their premises, as occurred at Alert Level 4:

• it is clarified that civil defence emergency management services provided by the National Emergency Management Agency or a Civil Defence Emergency Management Group are a category A service (as are other emergency services):

• the reference in Part 3 to small passenger services is removed as unnecessary (since these are already covered in Part 1).
