New Zealand to resume travel bubble with some Australian states
New Zealand's travel bubble will reopen to parts of Australia, as states lock down around the country in an effort to contain a wave of new COVID-19 outbreaks.
Quarantine-free trans-Tasman travel will again be available for residents of South Australia, Victoria, Tasmania and the ACT from 11.59pm on July 4.
However, passengers will need to provide a negative COVID-19 result before their departure.
