The Ministry of Health issued a reminder to those travelling over Waitangi weekend to have a Covid-19 plan in place.
"You should have plans in place in the event you are identified as a close contact, get Covid-19 symptoms, or find out you have Covid-19," the ministry said.
"You are likely to need to self-isolate wherever you become a close contact or test positive, so there may be extra costs involved in paying for additional accommodation and changing your travel plans."
