New Zealand's COVID-19 Response Minister Chris Hipkins announced that unvaccinated visa holders, permanent residents, and Australian citizens residing in New Zealand would be able to travel to and from New Zealand without entering Managed Isolation and Quarantine (MIQ) facilities.[2]
The New Zealand Government announced that the country's four remaining MIQ facilities would close by August 2022 due to the low number of people using them.[3]
