New Zealand scrapping pre-departure testing

Monday, 16 Jun, 2022 0

Travellers to New Zealand will no longer require a Cpvid-19 pre-departure test from 20 June

“We’ve taken a careful and staged approach to reopening our borders to. Our strategy has worked and as a result it’s safe to lift pre-departure test requirements sooner than planned,” Covid-19 Response Minister Dr Ayesha Verrall said.

“We had intended to remove the requirement for travellers to have a pre-departure test by 31 July. But with cases continuing to decline there is evidence this measure can now be lifted.”

“We don’t anticipate a significant increase in border cases once the requirement is lifted.”

A set of border surveillance measures remain in place for detecting possible new variants.

Travellers will still be required to self-test on Day 0/1 and again on Day 5/6.

If the result of either test is positive, they must then get a PCR test.

Passengers transiting through New Zealand will no longer need to be vaccinated, nor be required to complete a New Zealand Traveller Declaration.

“These changes represent important progress in our ongoing management of Covid-19,” Verrall said.
