Auckland's essential workers and those who had no choice but to venture out for work or school should remember to wear masks on public transport and travel with care as heavy rain continues to slam the region.
Western Line train services between Britomart and Swanson are now back operating after they were closed earlier this afternoon due to the severe weather. Delays and cancellations are still expected while recovery is in progress.
In East Auckland, motorists are warned to expect delay as a crash has resulted in lanes being blocked on a section of Whitford-Maraetai Rd near Okaroro Dr in Beachlands.
Those travelling on public transport services must only do so if necessary and need to maintain 1m physical distancing on buses, trains and ferries including while moving through the terminals or stations.
Face coverings on public transport are also mandatory to help reduce the spread of the virus.
