Quarantine-free travel from all Australian states and territories to New Zealand will be suspended, New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern and COVID-19 Response Minister Chris Hipkins announced on July 23.

The news comes as Australia continues to grapple with a COVID-19 outbreak spreading through multiple states despite lockdowns.

From 11:59 p.m. Friday , Australians will no longer be able to enter New Zealand quarantine-free for at least the next eight weeks. The Australian state of New South Wales — home to Sydney — reported 136 new locally acquired cases of COVID-19 in 24 hours, while Victoria — home of Melbourne — announced 14 new cases over that same period. South Australia reported one new case.

The ever-changing regulations vary from state to state within Australia. People who violate lockdown rules — including the man who sneaked out of hotel quarantine with a bed sheet and the two naked sunbathers who claimed they were on the run to escape a deer — are subject to fines, arrest and even deportation.
