Two years of closure for New Zealand, which is now ready to open its borders again. So many around the world have been waiting for nothing more than to be able to travel back to this nothing short of beautiful land. There is an official date for this crucial transition after the most acute phase of the Covid-19 pandemic: a date set for April 13. For the first time, vaccinated tourists from theAustralia will have the opportunity to Entering New Zealand without having to undergo isolation. The most important date, however, is another. It is about May 2. From this day on, in fact, doors are open to all tourists, including Italians, albeit with some restrictions related to origin.

New Zealand: open doors
The prime minister Jacinda Ardern announced the decision to reopen New Zealand's borders. A crucial step for the leisure travel industry, as well as the local economy, "We are ready to welcome the world again," he said, "New Zealand is ready and with arms wide open. We will roll out the red carpet for our Australian neighbors, and in time for the school vacations."
The past two years have brought an excellent result, which now everything will be done not to thwart. Here Covid and the Omicron variant continue to take their toll, with 15-20 thousand cases per day but, at the same time, the mortality rate is decidedly low: they are just 115 deaths since the start of the pandemic.
Excellent vaccination numbers, crucial in this process. Suffice it to say that 95% of those 12 years or older received two doses. The 72%, on the other hand, also had the third dose inoculated.
As mentioned, the May 2 will be a very important date but it will by no means mark the doors open for all vaccinated tourists from all over the world. Caution is never too much and New Zealand does not want to take any chances. No more than necessary anyway. China and India, for example, are still on the list of risk countries, so travelers from these nations will not be allowed into New Zealand. Appointment postponed until October, the prime minister explained.
New Zealand: how to enter
Jacinda Ardern pointed out that consideration is being given to admitting tourists from as many countries as possible, within the limits of safety. It should be made clear, however, how being able to set foot in New Zealand again will not happen without testing.
Canceled isolation for vaccinated tourists from certain countries considered safe. However, they are still required to present a negative Covid test, to be taken as usual before departure. News not for everyone, but certainly useful for some, New Zealand has also opened its borders to skilled workers in categories considered essential.
