The suspension of quarantine-free travel between New Zealand and New South Wales will be reviewed today.

The state's border was closed for 72 hours when further Covid-19 cases emerged, and an Australian tourist to Wellington prompted level 2 restrictions.

A new case has been reported in Queensland, but health experts believe the risk to New Zealand is low.

Travellers from other regions of Australia must continue to meet the qualifying standards, which include not having visited a tourist attraction before. In New Zealand, there are currently no new cases in controlled isolation.
