Hon Dr AYESHA VERRALL: The Government has been aware of the challenges that pre-departure testing is posing to those wishing to travel to New Zealand. This includes the availability and cost of getting a test in other countries, and the context of others winding back testing availability or requirements themselves. In addition, the level of compliance for international arrivals undertaking their post-arrival testing in New Zealand is very high, while the positivity rate is very low at around 2 percent of tested arrivals. This provides us assurance there's a very small number of cases entering New Zealand and that we have the tools in place to detect if a change occurs.
