WELLINGTON: Travel restrictions to curb the spread of the novel coronavirus could have"some impact" on next year's America's Cup but it is too early to determine to what extent, New Zealand's government said on Thursday.
Economic Development Minister Phil Twyford, who has responsibility for major events like the America's Cup, said there was still too much uncertainty to know when borders could be reopened. "The Government is highly motivated to see the 36th Americas Cup go ahead. However, critical factors including restrictions on gatherings, and any restrictions for borders both here and internationally still have to be worked through."Two of the challenging syndicates have expressed concern about when the restrictions might be lifted.
"We need to get a forward party there to set up the base and start things happening. The New Zealand Government has been silent."
