New Zealand's Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern and Cook Islands' Prime Minister Mark Brown announced (15-Jan-2021) passengers from the Cook Islands can resume quarantine-free travel into New Zealand from 21-Jan-2021, enabling access to essential services. The announcement does not change the criteria for entry into the Cook Islands which is limited to Cook Islanders and current holders of Cook Islands' work and residence permits who meet Cook Islands health entry requirements. Both governments are committed to working towards ensuring all safety protocols and response capabilities are in place for the resumption of two-way quarantine free travel between the two countries within the 1Q2021.
