Hon Dr AYESHA VERRALL: While we are removing the need for a pre-departure test, we are keeping in place a robust set of surveillance measures to detect any possible new variants of COVID-19. This includes retaining the requirement for self-tests on day 0/1 and day 5/6, and a follow up PCR test if either of the rapid antigen tests turn up positive. These PCR samples will continue to be sequenced, which gives the Government the best possible indication of variants arriving in New Zealand.
