Warning

Event

Officials in New Zealand have extended the ongoing suspension of quarantine-free travel from New South Wales, Australia, until at least 23:59 July 6 due to COVID-19 activity in the state. Authorities may extend the measure if deemed necessary. Arrivals must undergo quarantine for 14 days at a government-designated facility. Additionally, individuals who visited a designated location of interest in Victoria, Queensland, New South Wales, or the Australian Capital Territory (ACT) at the specified time cannot travel to New Zealand for two weeks from the date of their visit to such a location.

Airlines will likely continue to cancel flights between New Zealand and Sydney (SYD), though some flights from Auckland (AKL) to airports in New South Wales may continue. Further extensions of the controls and flight disruptions are possible.

Advice

Consider deferring travel plans and check with travel providers for rebooking options if impacted by the quarantine exemption suspension. Follow all official instructions.
