New Zealand prime minister Jacinda Ardern has announced the easing of the county’s Covid-19 border restrictions in stages starting from late February. Vaccinated citizens and visa holders coming from Australia will be able to return from 27 February, and those who are in other parts of the world can return on 13 March.

In Australia, Scott Morrison has announced that the nation will open to all fully vaccinated visa holders, including tourists, on 21 February.
