Earlier, we reported that the World Health Organization issued a recommendation, advising countries to lift or ease their international travel bans.
Implementing blanket travel bans are "Not effective in suppressing international spread" and "May discourage transparent and rapid reporting of emerging variants of concerns" the agency said in a statement.
Testing in New Zealand for Covid will be free, and rapid antigen tests will be used more widely, Ardern added.
The failure of travel restrictions introduced after the detection and reporting of Omicron variant to limit international spread of Omicron demonstrates the ineffectiveness of such measures over time.
Do not require proof of vaccination against Covid-19 for international travel as the only pathway or condition permitting international travel given limited global access and inequitable distribution of Covid-19 vaccines.
Here's a round-up of all the top international Covid news.
Bulgaria reported its highest Covid tally of the whole pandemic, with 11,181 new infections, a 65% jump on the 6,766 cases recorded on Wednesday two weeks ago.
