#### Public health measures that are still in the Government’s back pocket:

- Self-isolation (for cases, household contacts, close contacts)
- Mask use

They are keeping the ability to impose the below measures on people travelling into New Zealand.

- Mask use on inbound flights to New Zealand
- Pre-departure and/or post-arrival testing requirements
- Requirement for airline/ship operator to stop passengers who have not complied with pre-departure travel requirements
- Not boarding a flight to New Zealand while exhibiting COVID-19 symptoms or if under a public health order in another country or if currently positive for COVID-19
- Self-isolation and self-quarantine for people arriving from at risk countries (or potentially from anywhere),
- Provision of travel history and contact information to support contact tracing.
