New Zealand (NZ) Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern announced that the country’s international border would be fully reopened to all visitors on July 31, two months earlier than planned.

The move will be the final step of reopening, allowing tourists from countries such as China and India to enter the country. Borders are already opened to Australians and visa-waivered visitors.
