GBNews published this video item, entitled “Emotional scenes as New Zealand welcomes travellers from 60 countries” – below is their description. Emotional scenes unfolded at the Auckland airport on Monday as fully vaccinated travellers from 60 countries including the United States and United Kingdom were allowed to enter New Zealand without needing to quarantine or isolate. While tourists from visa-waiver countries including the United States, Britain and Singapore will now be able to visit New Zealand, the border will remain closed for all other visitors until October. New Zealand had some of the toughest border controls in the world during the Covid-19 pandemic as part of government efforts to keep the coronavirus out. A short-lived travel bubble between New Zealand and Australia was suspended in mid-2021 after Covid outbreaks.
