Partial Transfer of Request
I refer to your Of icial Information Act 1982 (the Act) request of 23 November 2025 to the
Ministry of Justice (the Ministry), for all infringements related to Covid-19.
I have transferred part of your request to the New Zealand Police, WorkSafe New Zealand
and New Zealand Customs Service. Specifically:
The total number of infringement notices issued from May 2020 to 26 November 2024,
broken down by:
Issuing agency (NZ Police, WorkSafe, Ministry of Health, any other authorised issuer)
Calendar year (2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024) Type of breach (e.g. failure to stay
home, mask non-compliance, vaccine mandate breach, vaccine certificate breach,
gathering limits, etc.) – or the closest categorisation available.
The total number of infringement notices issued during 2020 to 2024 from the New Zealand
Police, WorkSafe New Zealand and New Zealand Customs Service, to which your request
relates, is not held by the Ministry but is believed to be held by those agencies. In these
circumstances, we are required by section 14 of the Act to transfer your request.
You wil hear further from the New Zealand Police, WorkSafe New Zealand and New Zealand
Customs Service concerning the transferred parts of your request.
The Ministry will respond separately to the remainder of your request for which we hold
information.
Thank you for taking the time to write.
Nāku noa, nā
