The Department of Conservation has introduced a mandatory Covid-19 vaccination policy for all its accommodation facilities including Moturoa Island.
The policy came into effect on December 15.
It means that anyone aged 12 years three months and over must be fully vaccinated to stay in a DOC hut or campsite.
Heritage and visitors director Steve Taylor says when booking, visitors will be required to confirm they and all others in their group are fully vaccinated.
He says hut wardens and camp hosts are regularly on site and will be checking for visitor’s vaccination status.
