Australia halts New Zealand travel bubble amid fears of South African coronavirus strain
The Federal Government has suspended quarantine-free travel for New Zealanders arriving in Australia for 72 hours amid fears of a South African strain of COVID-19 across the Tasman.
A New Zealand woman infected with the highly infectious variant of COVID-19 first detected in South Africa visited around 30 sites before her case was detected.
Travellers coming from New Zealand to Australia in the next 72 hours will have to go into mandatory hotel quarantine.
Anyone who arrived in Australia from New Zealand on or since the 14th of January is asked to get a COVID-19 test and self-isolate until they get a negative result.
More to come.
