The Government's been told any travel bubble the Government chooses to open, should only be for the fully vaccinated.
An independent panel of experts, led by Sir David Skegg, has released advice about reconnecting New Zealand.
It says border restrictions must remain in place until the majority of us are vaccinated, but doesn't give a target.
Bubble travel should be restricted to the fully immunised, as more people get jabbed.
Newstalk ZB chief political reporter Jason Walls told Kate Hawkesby it's highly likely the Government will agree to that.
“It kind of makes sense doesn’t it, you see how devastating the Delta variant has been in places like Australia and Fiji.”
