Anyone flying to New Zealand from Australia must return a negative Covid-19 test within 72 hours of departure if they have been in Victoria recently, the Government says.
Health officials are waiting on test results for hundreds of people who recently arrived in New Zealand from Melbourne - the city now dealing with a Covid outbreak.
A total of 650 recent arrivals from the greater Melbourne region have been identified and are waiting for test results that willprove whether or not they have the virus.
Of those people, 511 are ordinary members of the public who arrived in New Zealand from Melbourne between May 20 to May 25 - when the city started to identify the latest Covid-19 cluster.
The remaining 139 people who are still waiting on test results are flight crew members.
