The tighter border controls were announced during an update by the Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern on New Zealand's response to the Covid-19 outbreak on Saturday afternoon.

The range of travel restrictions are:
1. As of midnight Saturday, no cruise ships will be able to dock in New Zealand until June 30.
2. From midnight Sunday, everyone arriving in New Zealand from anywhere in the world will have to isolate themselves for 14 days - the restrictions apply to New Zealand citizens and residents as well as international visitors.
3. Anyone with coronavirus symptoms will not be allowed to travel to the Pacific Islands and those who have been to other overseas countries will have to wait 14 days before going to there.
4. The existing travel ban for China and Iran will continue

The new measures mean New Zealand will have the strongest border restrictions in the world, apart from Israel and some Pacific Islands, which have effectively closed their borders.
Currently, New Zealand's border is closed to international visitors who have travelled to China or Iran.
People arriving from Italy and South Korea, which have become coronavirus hot spots, must go into quarantine for 14
days.

Air New Zealand says it will reduce its workforce by up to 30 percent - around 3750 jobs.

Brian from New Lynn

A statement from the company's chief executive officer on Monday confirmed the airline would suffer substantial losses. "One of the harsh realities we find ourselves facing is that we will require fewer Air New Zealanders as we move to grounding most of our international operations,"… View moreA statement from the company's chief executive officer on Monday confirmed the airline would suffer substantial losses. "One of the harsh realities we find ourselves facing is that we will require fewer Air New Zealanders as we move to grounding most of our international operations," said Greg Foran. Air NZ announced it would be suspending flights between Auckland and Chicago, San Francisco, Houston, Buenos Aires, Vancouver, Tokyo Narita, Honolulu, Denpasar and Taipei from March 30 to June 30. It is also suspending its London-Los Angeles service from March 16. "To minimise the level of redundancies we are strongly encouraging staff to take annual leave, long service leave or leave without pay where practicable," said Foran. The New Zealand Air Line Pilots' Association (NZALPA) believes the staff cuts at Air New Zealand will be permanent. The association released a statement following a meeting with Air NZ on Monday afternoon, following the airline's morning announcement it was cutting international capacity by 80 percent. "Air NZ will be looking to reduce employee headcount across the organisation by up to 30 percent. We understand this will not be a short term measure," said NZALPA president Captain Andrew Ridling. Foran said it will take more than a year for the airline to fly the same capacity it was before COVID-19.
=======================================================
Air NZ employs 12,500 people - 30 percent would mean 3750 jobs.
=======================================================
The NZALPA believes this drastic cutback in flights will cost the airline billions. "The industry is aware that, until this unprecedented situation developed, Air NZ would have had forecasted annual revenue of approximately NZ$6 billion. I would no longer be surprised if that forecast is reduced to around NZ$1 billion," said Ridling. The NZALPA is awaiting further announcements from Qantas and Virgin Australia.

The Hidden Gem! 12 Martin Jugum Lane - $720,000

Amar Alluri from Harcourts

Martin Jugum Lane, part of the "Fairview Gardens" estate, is a lovely no exit street with good quality brick and tile homes and a children's playground at the end of the lane.

No 12 itself, is tucked down a right of way with three off street parks and a single internal access garage. It's fully fenced with a great entertaining deck and an easily managed garden.

Built in brick with aluminium joinery, you'll appreciate the many years of maintenance free living. Inside this sun filled home, you have a great flow from the open plan living through to the bedrooms, bathroom and garage- which includes the laundry. Great opportunity here to add your style, flair and value.

You might not really need the car as it's a very short walk to the Ranui train station, as is the local Primary school. It is handy though if you do drive for its close proximity to the motorway. So whether you starting out or starting over, you won't go wrong here. Early viewing is essential.

Give me a call on 027 230 5360 to book a viewing,
