New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has announced today the country will reopen its border to tourists earlier than planned, hoping an influx of tourists during the winter holidays would accelerate the recovery from the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus.

“Reopening in time for the upcoming Australian school holidays will help spur our economic recovery in the short term and is good news for the winter ski season,” Ardern said at a press conference.
