Vaccine pass or negative test no longer required to leave Auckland

People leaving the Auckland region no longer need to provide proof they are vaccinated or present a negative Covid-19 test to cross the border. The requirement, which came into effect in mid-December when Auckland’s hard border lifted, was officially removed at 11.59pm on January 16, according to a Civil Aviation Authority notification. While the Government’s requirements for those crossing the Auckland border are no longer in place, transport operators are still enforcing their own requirements to prevent the spread of Covid-19. All domestic Air New Zealand passengers aged over 12 years and three months are still required to show proof of vaccine or a negative test taken within 72 hours of departure. Air New Zealand chief customer and sales officer Leanne Geraghty has said this requirement for domestic travel will remain in place until at least March 31, at which point it will be reviewed.<br/>
