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.
