Quarantine free travel between New Zealand and Australia has now started and we wish to extend a warm welcome to those travelling from Australia. One of the most important things visitors to New Zealand can do is download the NZ COVID Tracer app.
Anyone can download the New Zealand app – they may need to search their App Store or Google Play for ‘NZ COVID’ not just COVID as the search will prioritise the app from their country, therefore adding ‘NZ’ will be important to discovering the app.
Alternatively people will be able to visit the ministry website and the link on the tracer app page will take them direct to the right app on app stores.
We recommend people continue to scan NZ COVID Tracer app. The more we all scan, the safer we’ll all be. The data is stored on your phone until you choose to share it.
