The main effects of the amendments are as follows:
people no longer need to be vaccinated and asymptomatic before arriving in New Zealand:
people no longer need to wear a face mask while on board their flight to New Zealand and at the airport at which they arrive:
there is now only 1 pathway that applies to general travellers (Schedule 14 of the principal order).
