New Zealand's borders will remain closed to most international travelers over the next five months as the country takes precautions to fight the coronavirus.

Government officials reportedly made the announcement on Wednesday during a news conference

"A phased approach to reconnecting with the world is the safest approach to ensure risk is carefully managed," New Zealand's COVID-19 response minister, Chris Hipkins, said, according to Reuters. "This reduces any potential impacts on vulnerable communities and the New Zealand health system."

Fluffy bird
This year the long tailed bat won the vote for Bird of The Year in New Zealand. It’s meant to remind people that the bats are endangered and have every bit at much right to be protected and admired as birds.

Yep, the Kiwis have gone full batty...

Jacinda Ardern hasn’t completed the quarantine camps yet. When they are complete, and properly manned with MP units and concertina wire, the border will open for “compliant” citizens and visitors

In 5 months the vaccinated could have created another 10 strains on COVID just waiting or New Zealand might create it’s own strain/strains

What’s the over/under on this five months?

Because I’m willing to bet it’s really ten months. Or twelve. After that, who knows?

We are watching Europe destroy their tourist industry with new shutdowns and restrictions - there will be few if any of the old Christmas celebrations that were normal just two years ago.

As someone else remarked, total Vaccination has become the new total Shutdown.

Yes, they do.

So does Australia.

I honestly don’t understand why Americans seem to think only land borders are borders - you’ve got some of the largest sea borders in the world yourselves. Otherwise anybody could just come in from the east or the west...

"Border" comes from "board," as in fence, so when they hear the word, most people think of a land boundary rather than a seacoast when they hear the word.
