Ardern says borders likely to be closed all year

NewstalkZB reports:

New Zealand’s border personnel will be vaccinated against Covid-19 within three weeks of the first immunisation shipment reaching our shores, Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern says.

But the country’s borders are likely to remain closed to most of the world for the rest of the year, as reopening them poses “too great a risk to our health and economy”.

Remember how they were talking travel bubbles with the Pacific and Australia in the first quarter of this year!
