New Zealand borders to remain closed for rest of the year

BBC

New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has said that that the country's borders will remain closed until at least the end of the year.

She said an elimination strategy was the best way to keep Covid-19 out and the economy open.

The prime minister also said New Zealand would move to a new individual risk-based model for quarantine-free travel from the start of next year.

She stressed the priority was vaccinating the population by end 2021.

I desire to travel abroad once again, but not until it is safe to do so.
