Australia and New Zealand have reached a travel agreement, known as Trans-Tasman bubble, that allows citizens from these two countries to travel between them, without having to go on quarantine upon arrival, as long as they have been staying in one of the countries, and did not test positive for Covid-19, for at least 14 days before departure.
Taiwan and Palau signed the first Asian travel bubble agreement, since both countries presented really low Covid-19 infection rates. Citizens travelling from one region to another do not need to go on quarantine upon arrival, even though they are obligated to present a negative Covid-19 test before boarding the plane.
From May 17, citizens of New Zealand and Cook Islands are going to be able to travel between the two countries without having to go on quarantine.
