NSW, Victoria and Queensland restrict COVID-19 travel from New Zealand in face of Auckland outbreak
Australia’s eastern states have imposed fresh restrictions on New Zealand travellers in the face of the COVID-19 outbreak in Auckland.
Key points:
- NSW has declared Auckland a COVID-19 hotspot and travellers will now have to quarantine for 14 days
- Victoria has classified the state as a “red zone” following a recent outbreak and is now also enforcing quarantine
- Queensland has removed New Zealand’s “safe travel country” designation
NSW, Victoria and Queensland have limited quarantine-free travel now that at least eight cases have been linked to an Auckland high school.
New Zealand authorities say they are confident the outbreak, which prompted a lockdown in New Zealand’s biggest city, is under control.
