New Zealand: Government to end pre-arrival Traveller Declaration for inbound travelers from Oct. 20 /update 48
Authorities in New Zealand to stop Traveller Declaration requirement from Oct. 20. Self-quarantine rules remain in place.
Event
The government will lift a requirement for inbound travelers to complete a New Zealand Traveller Declaration from Oct. 20, ending the country’s last international travel restriction due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Domestic Measures
Individuals must wear facemasks in medical and aged-care facilities. The government requires locally acquired COVID-19 cases to self-quarantine for seven days. People infected with COVID-19 and displaying symptoms beyond seven days must continue to quarantine until 24 hours after their symptoms subside. Self-quarantine requirements have led to staff shortages, particularly for transport operators, leading to service disruptions in major cities.
Authorities recommend that household contacts of COVID-19 cases take a daily rapid antigen test (RAT) to enter the community and wear a facemask in public for the first five days after exposure.
Advice
Follow all official instructions.
