There are no new community Covid cases in New Zealand as health teams begin contacting about 1000 recently arrived passengers on direct flights from Perth. However, health teams still deemed the risk - as of last night - to the country of infection from Perth as being as low. Quarantine-free travel would continue with the rest of Australia, although Kiwis in the country were asked to keep their eye out for the latest news from Australian health officials. The Ministry of Health also reported two new Covid cases had been detected in managed isolation facilities. "All other people who have been in Perth and Peel should monitor for COVID-19 symptoms for 14 days after last being in the locations."
