The New Zealand government announced on Thursday (12.08.2021) that it plans to allow vaccinated travelers from low-risk countries to enter without segregation from early 2022, as part of a gradual reopening of its borders.
The sea country, which closed its international borders in March 2020 following the COVID-19 epidemic, is set to begin lifting visitation restrictions from the first quarter of next year.
The reopen is based on a personalized model that puts travelers entering the country into three risk categories: low, medium and high, ranging from free entry to mandatory 14-day isolation at government centers, as well as considering your vaccination status.
“The low-risk route will allow free isolation for vaccinated travelers from low-risk countries,” New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinta Artern said in a statement praising her strong strategy against COVID-19.
Low vaccination rate
However, those coming from medium or high risk countries should be isolated for up to 14 days, although authorities prefer to allow some victims to remain isolated in their homes.
New Zealand, which has relatively low vaccination rates compared to other developed countries, is trying to speed up its program by vaccinating the population over the age of 16 with Pfizer serum from September.
The country, which stopped the travel bubble with Australia in July due to re-emergence in the neighborhood and allowed only non-isolated trips to the Cook Islands, has amassed less than 3,000 epidemics since the outbreak, with 26 deaths and current records. 43 active cases.
