So if the unthinkable happens and level 3 continues, what sporting events may need a rethink?
Prada Cup/America's Cup: Feb 17-March 15

Event organisers have already canned Wednesday's schedule, which would have been races five and six in the best of 13 Prada Cup final.
While the delay is probably good news for the struggling INEOS Team UK, it's not good news for the event, with fans now unlikely to attend.
Even if Auckland is out of level 3 by Thursday, that could be followed by a period at level 2, which would mean no gatherings of more than 100 people.
The Prada Cup finals are scheduled to conclude on February 22, with the America's Cup set to run from March 6-15, but a two-week lockdown will severely impact that schedule.
