And so it begins ... π³π«ππ¨π·
The tighter border controls were announced during an update by the Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern on New Zealand's response to the Covid-19 outbreak on Saturday afternoon.
The range of travel restrictions are:
1. As of midnight Saturday, no cruise ships will be able to dock in New Zealand until June 30.
2. From midnight Sunday, everyone arriving in New Zealand from anywhere in the world will have to isolate themselves for 14 days - the restrictions apply to New Zealand citizens and residents as well as international visitors.
3. Anyone with coronavirus symptoms will not be allowed to travel to the Pacific Islands and those who have been to other overseas countries will have to wait 14 days before going to there.
4. The existing travel ban for China and Iran will continue
The new measures mean New Zealand will have the strongest border restrictions in the world, apart from Israel and some Pacific Islands, which have effectively closed their borders.
Currently, New Zealand's border is closed to international visitors who have travelled to China or Iran.
People arriving from Italy and South Korea, which have become coronavirus hot spots, must go into quarantine for 14
days.

Why make finding reserving books harder in Auckland libraries?
Just using the last digit of a customers library card should be sufficient?
So all books for a customer go in the same place.
