  • The New Zealand Government eliminated several of its COVID-19 emergency powers including its powers to implement lockdowns, managed isolation and quarantine (MIQ), border closures, vaccine passes and mandates. The Government however opted to retain the Act's provisions for seven-day isolation periods, mask use and border entry requirements until Parliament passed newer, general pandemic legislation. In addition, the Government revoked the Epidemic Notice, signalling a shift from emergency management to long-term management of COVID-19.[3][4]
  • New Zealand's COVID-19 Response Minister Chris Hipkins announced that the Government would hold a royal commission into its response to the COVID-19 pandemic.[5]
