Delta is changing the country's Covid-19 response and Tuesday's move to alert level 2 for most of the country will be no exception.
From 11.59pm every part of the country except Auckland will move down alert levels. Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has dubbed this "Level Two Delta".
Face coverings must be worn in most public venues, such as shops, malls and libraries - except of course when eating or drinking at a bar or restaurant.
The Director General of Health Dr Ashley Bloomfield says masks are recommended, but not mandatory for children returning to school on Thursday.
Record keeping or QR scanning is mandated for the vast majority of businesses, venues and events.
Those looking to head to the gym or visit the library will be subject to new requirements for indoor public facilities. There is also a clamp down on numbers gathering.
Outdoor venues can have up to 100 people, but indoor venues can have just 50 - that's half as many as before.
Unlike the rest of the country, Northland is marooned by Auckland's border.
Ardern said people will still be able to travel to other parts of the country.
Auckland is the odd one out for now, remaining at level 4 until at least next Tuesday.
Cases in the community have been declining - but so too have testing numbers.
On Sunday 4,750 tests were processed, 2000 were in Auckland - the lowest since the start of the outbreak.
But now surveillance testing of healthcare, quarantine and essential workers is ramping up.
Dr Bloomfield says there will be more testing of healthcare workers who are on wards with Covid-19 patients and quarantine workers will now be tested twice weekly.
Even essential workers crossing the Auckland border will now need to get tested weekly.
The entire country will have their alert levels reviewed on Monday.
