New Zealand prime minister warns that further Covid-19 outbreaks could mean border closures return
After nearly a year shut off from the world, New Zealand is cracking open its borders, with a trans-Tasman travel bubble.
The prime minister, Jacinda Ardern, announced that the bubble with Australia would begin on 19 April, allowing quarantine-free travel between the two nations. Travellers from New Zealand have been able to enter selected Australian states without quarantining since October, but not in the other direction.
