Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern says she has "zero tolerance" for anyone who is not self-isolating after entering New Zealand.

Border restrictions introduced last week to control the spread of COVID-19 require anyone who enters New Zealand to isolate themselves for 14 days. The only exception to this rule is people arriving from the Pacific islands.
