The Cook Islands have continued to refused passengers from New Zealand out of an abundance of caution, following recent community cases of the UK Coronavirus strain in Auckland.
On Wednesday evening the Cook Islands Cabinet called a meeting in response to the New Zealand government s change on alert levels. This meeting focused on the ramifications of the widely reported Covid-19 variant B1.1.7 cases (first detected in the UK) in South Auckland New Zealand, said the Office of the Cook Island s prime minister, Mark Brown.
