Update on travellers from Victoria
Of the 4,539 people who flew from Melbourne Airport to New Zealand between May 20-25, the Ministry’s contact tracing team has now contacted all but five travellers. The remaining five people have been referred to people-finding services.
All of these travellers are being instructed to get a test and self-isolate at home or in the accommodation they are staying in until they have a negative result.
Anyone who has been in Victoria since May 11 needs to keep checking the Victorian Government website as locations of interest are being continually added. If they have been at a location of interest, they should call Healthline on 0800 358 5453 for further information.
All testing for people who have been in Melbourne is free under the Section 70 notice, regardless of whether or not people are symptomatic. This includes for visitors to New Zealand. For testing locations in Auckland, visit the ARPHS website arphs.health.nz/public-health-…
For all testing locations nationwide visit the Healthpoint website - healthpoint.co.nz/covid-19/
As of this morning, 2,350 travellers and 178 air crew had returned negative tests. Officials are continuing to follow-up those travellers without test results.
As we’ve previously said, not everyone in this group will be tested in New Zealand. We have now identified around 1,200 individuals we know to have already returned to Australia, while others are infants who are not required to be tested.
We are now matching testing records with passenger departures. We expect to be able to provide a fuller picture on testing numbers tomorrow.
Under the current Section 70 notice, travellers wanting to return to Melbourne are not permitted to do so until they have returned a negative test result.

Following the Victorian Government’s decision to extend their lockdown, New Zealand’s Quarantine Free Travel pause with Victoria will also be extended until Thursday 10 June at 11.59pm.
We acknowledge this extension will cause further inconvenience to those who have already had their travel plans disrupted. The Government has announced plans for the carefully managed commencement of return ‘green flights’ from Melbourne to NZ, from Tuesday 8 June at 11:59pm.
Travel on such flights will be limited to New Zealand citizens and Australian citizens who normally reside in New Zealand, people with humanitarian exemptions and critical workers who are stranded in Victoria.
Update on recent arrivals from Melbourne
All travellers who are currently in New Zealand who have been in the Greater Melbourne Region since 20 May are required to isolate and be tested and to remain in isolation until a negative test result is returned.

A review of the data has identified an additional 48 people in New Zealand who are required to isolate and be tested, having arrived as part of a cohort of 177 people in addition to the 4,532 earlier identified by the Ministry of Health.
