This amendment order established the requirement for people before travelling to New Zealand to get a negative COVID-19 test within 72 hours prior to departure. I delegated, through the order to the director-general, the power to gazette the countries to whom the pre-departure testing would apply. Initially, we imposed that requirement on travellers coming from the US or the UK, with a note in the decision that the reason for doing that was because of the significant outbreaks of COVID-19 that they were experiencing, and particular concern around the more highly transmissible variant emerging in the UK. Allowing the director-general to gazette which countries it applied to allowed us to add countries as risk was identified. The reality now is that, within a short space of time, the presumption there reversed: where we extended that requirement to all the countries unless there was an exemption, and then subsequently issued an exemption to that.
