Travellers from New South Wales
Quarantine-free travel with New South Wales (NSW) remains in place.
New Zealand public health officials are regularly reviewing developments and have determined that the COVID-19 public health risk to us currently remains low.
There are now nine community cases in Sydney since last week. NSW public health officials are constantly adding new locations of interest. Anyone who has been in Sydney since 11 June should check the NSW Health website.
Anyone who has been at a location of interest at the relevant time must contact Healthline on 0800 358 5453, get tested and stay at home until they get a negative test result. They are also advised to continue to monitor for symptoms and if any develop, get tested again.
Contact tracers last week got in touch with 6824 passengers from NSW who arrived in New Zealand before last Wednesday, when the first recent community case in Sydney was announced. These were travellers who had been in NSW since June 11.
The MoH reminds anyone with symptoms to get tested. This advice applies to everyone, not just recent travellers.
Information about quarantine-free travel between NSW and New Zealand is available on the COVID-19 website.
