This is what she stated, “Families and friends need to reunite, our businesses need skills to grow. Exporters need to travel to make new connections. It’s time to move again.”
As per the latest covid news, New Zealand citizens who are currently in Australia and want to return back home will be allowed to do so only if they have been administered two doses of COVID-19 vaccine.
To felicitate them, the country will reopen its borders on March 13 who want to arrive in the country from elsewhere in the world.
Even after their return from Australia or any other country, such people will be required to isolate at home. The length or period of their isolation will be as per the “close contact” policy at the time of their arrival.
Those New Zealanders who are still not been vaccinated need to spend more time in quarantine. Meanwhile, the government is taking care of all the facilities designed for that purpose.
