SkyCity CEO Michael Ahearne has announced that Covid-19 Vaccination Certificates (CVC) will be required at all SkyCity properties throughout New Zealand.
Ahearne emphasised that the CVC requirement is the necessary to halt the spread of Covid-19.
“As one of the biggest entertainment venues in New Zealand, and a significant employer in New Zealand, we need to take measures to help keep Kiwis safe,” said Ahearne.
“While we have existing safety controls in place to mitigate the risk of exposure to Covid-19, public health information and research confirm that Covid-19 vaccines will provide the best protection for our staff and customers.”
Ahearne said that SkyCity came to the decision after running a risk assessment, and added that the mandate will apply to both staff and customers.
“As the result of running a risk assessment process SkyCity expects the CVC requirement will cover all employees (around 2,900), customers, contractors and visitors at our New Zealand sites to protect them..
