Christchurch City Council is working on plans re-open its public facilities under Alert Level 2.

Sport and recreation centres, libraries, pools, community centres and playgrounds have all been closed since late March. The Christchurch Art Gallery, the Botanic Gardens Visitor Centre, Civic Offices and Council service centres have also been closed.

However, the Government today announced that such facilities will be allowed to re-open under Covid-19 Alert Level 2 as long as they limit the number of people inside at once and keep groups of attendees one metre apart.

Mary Richardson, who leads the Council’s Covid-19 Incident Management Team, says staff have been working on plans for how the city’s public facilities can safely operate under Level 2.

She says the facilities will re-open gradually to ensure the health and safety of users.
