The pause over the possibility of Auckland residents being able to travel to Australia without quarantine continues, as the Australian Health Ministry says tonight that it still regards Auckland as a “hotspot”.
Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria and Tasmania declared Auckland a Covid-19 hotspot until March 6, subject to a three-day review.
That review is now scheduled to begin March 9.
“The medical director determined that Auckland remains a hotspot and that current New Zealand green zone flight arrangements should remain in place, with a revised end date of Tuesday 9 March 2021. The situation will be reviewed again. in 72 hours, “said the Australian. Ministry of Health said in a statement tonight.
“Normal green flight arrangements can continue for people who have not been to Auckland in the previous 14 days.
“This means they can travel to Australia without quarantine (including those in transit through Auckland),” the statement said.
Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria and Tasmania now require a 14-day quarantine for all Auckland travelers.
Unlike in New Zealand, arrivals do not have to book a seclusion hotel in advance.
