From Morning Report, 7:39 am on 16 March 2020

Tough new travel restrictions have been put into place to stop the spread of Covid-19.

Anyone arriving into New Zealand from overseas - excluding the pacific islands - will be required to go into two weeks of self-isolation, cruise ships are banned and Customs has closed its e-gate system, forcing travellers to get their passports checked manually.

RNZ Health Correspondent Rowan Quinn has more details about new border measures.
