Auckland’s border to remain over summer, possibly only for double vaccinated

According to the Prime Minister, Auckland’s hard border will stay in place over summer with only double vaxxed people allowed to escape the locked down city, NZ Herald reports. The Government is still working through the logistics of enabling Aucklanders to leave the city and visit friends and family for Christmas and over summer. But managing something of such a large size and scale was not a small thing to overcome because New Zealand wasn’t used to using borders in the ways other countries such as Australia did. “How do you do that when you have up to 30,000 cars moving at a time,” said the PM.
