Fiji hasn't had a single covid case in the wild in a year, with all our covid patients being detected in quarantine and isolated until recovery.

No bubble with us though. The Aussies get it first.

I'd personally be in favor of some sort of travel bubble within the pacific with other countries who share our low/zero local transmission (or at least to have a more lightweight quarantine process involved).

That said, my point was that opening NZ up to Australia (and vice versa) is a very different scenario to opening up to eg the US, France or the UK.
