Poll: Do you think saliva testing should be offered to Christchurch border staff?
Christchurch International Airport is not doing daily Covid-19 saliva tests for its border staff – unlike Auckland Airport, which is privately funding a saliva testing pilot.
Airport boss Malcolm Johns said it was not a financial issue, but it was unnecessary as almost all international travellers were arriving via Auckland. The bigger risk in Christchurch was at managed isolation and quarantine (MIQ) facilities.

2025 has been massive. The Luxon-led Government's attacks on workers, on Te Tiriti, on pay equity, on educators, on health workers, and on the public service, have been relentless.
But despite everything thrown at working people, we've also seen some massive wins. We've fought back together with strike action. We've unified with days of action. We have focused on what matters. Make no mistake, 2026 will be wild, and we are ready for it! Source - New Zealand Council of Trade Unions
