From Morning Report, 7:13 am on 4 June 2021

New Zealanders will soon be able to fly home from Melbourne without having to quarantine, after a pause to the travel bubble between Aotearoa and Victoria.

People will be able to fly back from Wednesday but must provide evidence of a negative Covid-19 test within the 72 hours before their flight.

Director-General of Health Dr Ashley Bloomfield told Morning Report he's confident New Zealanders returning home from Melbourne won't pose a risk to communities here.
