 Emotional sins unfold at the Auckland Airport on Monday. Fully vaccinated travellers from 60 countries, including the United States, to United Kingdom were allowed to enter New Zealand without needing to quarantine or isolate. Families and friends poured one another into long hugs upon reuniting as flight touched down in Auckland, where more dancers greeted them, while tourists from visa-weaver countries, including the United States, Britain and Singapore, will now be able to visit New Zealand. The border will remain closed for all other visitors until October. New Zealand had some of the toughest border controls in the world during the COVID-19 pandemic as part of government effort to keep the coronavirus out. It's been two years in suspension of just wondering if and when and never knowing if the moment was even going to come. Yeah, it was looking pretty shaky there. We started without knowing if we'd ever see each other. Yeah, basically.
