Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has announced and new trans-Tasman travel bubble.

The new bubble will allow people to travel to and from Australia without having to go into quarantine.

The new system will start on the 19th April.

To be eligible for a quarantine-free flight, passengers must not have had a positive COVID-19 test result in the previous 14-days and you cannot be awaiting a test result. 

Passengers will be required to wear a mask on their flight, and Australians will be asked to download and use the NZ COVID Tracer app while in New Zealand. 

Passengers will be taken through special zones at the airports. There will be no contact with those who are arriving from other parts of the world and going into managed isolation or quarantine.

Both Australia and New Zealand closed their international borders to non-citizens and residents in March 2020 in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.
