The country needs to scrap several days in self isolation for fully vaccinated arrivals by the middle of the year, a government business adviser says.

Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has laid out the timeline for "reconnecting New Zealand to the world" when fully vaccinated returnees and visitors can bypass MIQ and self isolate instead.

COVID-19 Response Minister Chris Hipkins says it is "likely" that "people will need a booster" shot to keep their vaccination passes. 

Vaccine certificates were introduced in November to allow those with two doses of the COVID-19 jab access to places that require proof of immunisation under the COVID Protection Framework or 'traffic light' system.

Taiwan on Sunday reported the largest incursion since October by China's air force in its air defence zone, with the island's defence ministry saying Taiwanese fighters scrambled to warn away 39 aircraft in the latest uptick in tensions.

Taiwan, which China claims as its own territory, has complained for more than a year of repeated missions by China's air force near the democratically governed island, often in the southwestern part of its air defence identification zone, or ADIZ, close to the Taiwan-controlled Pratas Islands.

Taiwan calls China's repeated nearby military activities "grey zone" warfare, designed to both wear out Taiwan's forces by making them repeatedly scramble, and also to test Taiwan's responses.
