Travellers from New South Wales
Quarantine-Free Travel with New South Wales remains in place.
New Zealand public health officials are regularly reviewing developments in the Australian State and advice will be updated, if and when required, says a statement from the ministry.
New Zealand health officials have determined that, at this time, the Covid-19 public health risk to New Zealand remains low, says the statement.
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 June 11 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 6,824 passengers from New South Wales 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, says the mistry.
The MOH is want to reminding anyone with symptoms to get tested and the advice applies to everyone, not just recent travellers.
Travellers to New Zealand from anywhere in Australia:
- Must meet eligibility criteria before travelling, depending on their circumstances this can involve not travelling for 14 days if they've been in a location of interest, or having a pre-departure test if an order is in place involving the State they've been in.
- Must complete the Nau Mai Ra travel declaration which allows contact tracers to get in touch with them if they've been in an affected area at the relevant time but have since travelled to New Zealand.
- Are asked two sets of questions about whether they've visited a location of interest. Passengers are asked on departure from Australia by their airline and on arrival in New Zealand by Customs at the eGate. If they answer yes, they are rejected by the eGate and a Customs officer sends them to a booth. They are also referred to the Health team on duty.
- Are given advice on what to do if they become symptomatic.
