Tips for Safe Travel
In the 14 days before you leave for New Zealand
- Avoid going to high-risk events like parties, social gatherings or crowded places.
- Avoid contact with people who have COVID-19 or who are contacts of people with COVID-19.
- Stay home as much as possible to limit your contact with other people.
- Wash and dry your hands often, cough into your elbow and avoid touching your face.
- Keep your distance from people you do not know.
- Wear a face covering when you cannot keep your distance.
Whilst travelling
- Wash and dry your hands often, cough into your elbow and avoid touching your face.
- Keep your distance from people you do not know.
- Wear a face covering at all times.
Once you arrive, face coverings legally must be worn:
- on all public transport to, from and through Auckland — including on long-distance bus and train journeys, as well as Auckland ferries.
- on domestic flights throughout New Zealand.
- by Auckland taxi and ride-share drivers — while it’s not compulsory for passengers to wear them, we strongly encourage you to.
- however, children under 12 and students on school buses do not need to wear a face covering.
