New Zealand has postponed its phased border re-opening plans until the end of February.
COVID-19 Response Minister, Chris Hipkins said Non-quarantine travel, which was to open for New Zealanders in Australia on January 16th, will be delayed to the end of February.
The South Pacific nation had just started easing some of the world’s toughest pandemic measures and its international border restrictions were to progressively loosen starting in January.
The measures are a precaution, as it is still unclear how sick Omicron makes people and the impact it has on health systems is not yet fully understood.
