==Face covering requirement for NZ marshals==
==Face covering requirement for NZ marshals - now removed==
To the best of our understanding (I haven't heard back from Ministry of Health about referees for martial arts), we believe that marshals in NZ trigger the requirement for wearing face coverings while inspecting combatants and marshalling combat due to close contact or the potential for it while assisting a combatant. This applies during red and orange traffic light settings of the COVID Protection Framework.  This may not be practicable for marshalling war combat, or for combatants taking turns marshalling bouts while still fully armoured - so treat it as requiring the face covering if not wearing your helmet.   It's a compliance issue rather than an actual mitigation from spreading COVID - taking part in combat is a far greater risk of spread!
With NZ's move to the Orange traffic light setting for our COVID restrictions from 11:59pm 13th of April, the requirement for marshals in NZ to wear face coverings is now removed. As with all of our armour requirements, you are welcome to wear additional protective equipment above the minimums to meet your personal appetite for risk. Anyone giving you grief for wearing a face covering would not meet our standards for courteous behaviour.

Face covering requirement for NZ marshals - now removed

With NZ's move to the Orange traffic light setting for our COVID restrictions from 11:59pm 13th of April, the requirement for marshals in NZ to wear face coverings is now removed. As with all of our armour requirements, you are welcome to wear additional protective equipment above the minimums to meet your personal appetite for risk. Anyone giving you grief for wearing a face covering would not meet our standards for courteous behaviour.
