Wellington, Jan 12 : The New Zealand government is going to implement as series of additional actions in an effort to curb the further spreading of Covid-19, including the new emerging variants of the virus, a Minister said on Tuesday.
Covid-19 Response Minister Chris Hipkins announced that passengers from countries, excluding Australia, Antarctica and some Pacific Island nations, will be required to undergo Day 0/1 testing upon arrival in New Zealand, reports Xinhua news agency.
A Government spokesman on Monday said Covid-19 had grown exponentially around the world and there was a new, more transmissible, strain since the Government last dismissed the offshore tests. The managed isolation and quarantine system remained New Zealand’s main protection, and pre-departure testing was “just another layer we are adding, as travel to NZ often involves several transit stops”. The new tests were legally justifiable because of the risk of Covid-19 to the wider New Zealand community.

Green Party MP Golriz Ghahraman said the pre-border testing was misguided and counter-productive. A change would be made to the Covid-19 Public Health Response (Air Border) Order to bring the new test into law.
