Scots looking to get some winter sun will now be able to travel to New Zealand without proof of a Covid-19 vaccination or a negative test.
New Zealand's Prime Minister, Jacinda Ardern, has announced that the country is now dropping the majority of its Covid-19 restrictions. New Zealand has been known for its strict rules against the virus, but will now "safely turn the page" both domestically and for international travellers, according to Ardern.
The country only fully opened back up for travellers last month after operating strict border control throughout the pandemic. Travellers previously needed proof of vaccination and two rapid lateral flow tests upon arrival to enter New Zealand.
