New Zealand to bring forward full border reopening

New Zealand’s hard border could swing open earlier than expected. Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said a new revised reopening schedule will be revealed this week and ‘brought forward because we believe we can safely do so.’

It has maintained a hard border for almost two years. It has already opened to returning Kiwis and workers in critical industries. It expects to open first to Australian travellers and then for worldwide tourists.
