Whanganui people have welcomed the news that travel bubbles with Australia and the Cooks Islands will soon open up. Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said on Tuesday that Cabinet had agreed, in principle, on establishing a quarantine-free travel bubble with Australia that would be up and running in the first quarter of 2020. There will be a further announcement in the New Year.
