Gladys Berejiklian has lashed out at New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Arden for cutting off flights from NSW over just two Covid cases.
The NSW premier said the snap flight ban was an 'overaction' after the wife of an infected man in his 50s also tested positive to the virus.
The short-term travel pause started on Thursday at 11.59pm and will last for at least 48 hours until the scale of the potential outbreak is more clear.
