A two-week ban on all travellers arriving from India starts today.
The temporary ban means travellers who have been in India in the past two weeks cannot enter the country.
It was announced by the Prime Minister on Thursday and came after a surge in Covid-19 cases at the New Zealand border - people who had been in India.
This was despite pre-flight testing showing the travellers did not have the virus 72 hours before leaving.
