Jacinda Ardern issues stark warning about NZ opening borders 'nothing is simple’

“When we are vaccinated we can still keep all the positives while removing some of the negatives. That’s the path I’m looking for.”

On what number of people would constitute “widely vaccinated” Ms Ardern said: “We’ve all the way through been saying consistently – because experts have been telling us – that oversimplifies things a bit, just a number oversimplifies things.”

Responding to the interviewer asking about New Zealander’s being able to plan for the future she added: “I don’t think we should assume that no one can plan anything in their life whatsoever whilst we sit and wait for an expert to tell us a percentage that’s going to make, at that point that something is going to… I think nothing in Covid has been as simple as that.”

New Zealand is currently on the UK’s green travel list meaning Brits can travel there without the need to quarantine upon their arrival back into the UK.
