The government has implemented the travel ban from this Sunday until the 28 April due to a high percentage of passengers arriving from India infected with Covid-19.
On Thursday, 17 travellers arriving in New Zealand from India tested positive. India is struggling with a sustained outbreak of the virus, reporting a seven-day average of 93,000 cases a day.
