Industry Update - Covid19 #9

Repatriation Flights

The Government has announced a plan to enable the safe, orderly exit of tens of thousands of stranded foreign nationals from New Zealand during the current COVID-19 Alert Level 4 restrictions

Foreign nationals returning home will be considered to be engaging in “essential travel”, and therefore able to travel domestically (whether by air or land) when they have a confirmed and scheduled international flight out of New Zealand, subject to requirements which will be set out on www.covid19.govt.nz

Foreign nationals seeking to leave New Zealand will not be allowed to leave self-isolation to travel if they are at risk of COVID-19. This includes anyone who:

Has been diagnosed with COVID-19;
Has symptoms consistent with COVID-19;
Is waiting for COVID-19 results;
Is a close contact of a suspected/probable/confirmed case of COVID-19; or
Has travelled internationally in past 14 days.

Foreign nationals should contact their Embassy or High Commission for further advice.

From Tourism Industry Aotearoa

We are keen to help our tourism people keep in touch with the industry throughout the ongoing challenges we are all facing. To do this we are collecting personal email addresses of those who wish to receive T-Mail and other TIA communications, even if they have to temporarily or permanently leave their current tourism place of employment.

Seasonal Employment Opportunities

If you need to let go of staff during this time, you may wish to pass on some seasonal employment opportunities. Seasonal work website Work the Seasons is linking employers with people looking for work.
