Hon CHRIS HIPKINS (Minister for COVID-19 Response): I'm advised that between 23 August and 6 December, 4,883 travellers from Australia have completed stays in managed isolation and quarantine (MIQ). Three of these people tested positive. However, none of them were vaccinated. I'd note that overall we had 132 cases amongst 31,000 returnees since 23 August, 79 of whom were fully vaccinated. In answer to the second part of the question, yes. As we have done throughout the pandemic, the Government will remain adaptable to the changing international situation, and any emerging evidence around variants of concern, including the Omicron variant. Officials will continue to regularly monitor Omicron and any other variants around the globe, and Ministers will be available over the holiday period to receive advice on that. We remain committed to the time frames we announced under the Reconnecting New Zealanders plan, including allowing fully vaccinated New Zealand citizens and other eligible travellers to enter from Australia from 11.59 p.m. on 16 January 2022.
