New Zealand Announces Plan to Reopen its Borders

New Zealand’s Prime Minister, Jacinda Ardern, has said the country will soon reopen its borders in a phased plan.

Arden revealed that the five-stage plan will start with fully vaccinated New Zealanders in neighboring Australia who will be allowed to return home starting from midnight on February 27.

The Prime Minister added that it will be extended to fully vaccinated New Zealanders elsewhere in the world from March 13.

New Zealand imposed the stringent border controls as part of its strategy to eliminate Covid-19.
