Experts are cautioning that a full travel bubble halt may not be needed despite half of Australia being in lockdown, provided the Government is confident with state border control measures.
Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern will be joining Covid-19 Response Minister Chris Hipkins and director general of health Ashley Bloomfield to provide an update at 1.30pm regarding the quarantine-free travel arrangements with Australia.
Ardern has cut her recess holiday short, fuelling speculation a full pause of the travel bubble could be on the cards.
However, experts say this might not be necessary provided there was enough confidence in Australia s ability to contain the virus within states experiencing outbreaks.
