All of the 157 people quarantined at the Whangaparaoa navy base finally walked free on Wednesday - after two weeks living in campervans north of Auckland.
More than 50 foreign nationals who were part of the group were taken to the airport to travel home.
The New Zealanders - some of whom haven't seen their families for 5 months - were taken home by bus or picked by their waiting relatives.
Chen Liu was there.
