New Zealand and Australia have announced they will relax the border rules for vaccinated travellers from later this month to the relief of many who have been separated from family and friends for years.
Vaccinated citizens and visa holders travelling to New Zealand from Australia will be able to fly there from 27 February and do 10 days of home quarantine, and those who are in other parts of the world can return on 13 March (and then do 10 days of home quarantine). Meanwhile, Australia will open to all fully vaccinated visa holders, including tourists, on 21 February, with no quarantine required.
