Attorney General and Minister for Economy Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum says New Zealand still has a few timelines to meet before Fiji drops quarantine requirements for NZ tourists.

Sayed-Khaiyum says this is not a political decision and all of these decisions are made by the health officials.

When asked if Fiji Airways will time themselves to recommence at the same time, Sayed-Khaiyum says a lot of it depends on how New Zealand treats their returning citizens.

The Attorney General has announced in the 2020/2021 National Budget that as New Zealand’s success against the virus has them on the fast track to COVID-Contained status, Fiji will soon drop any quarantine requirement for New Zealand-based travellers.
