I'm not sure I would. NZ is following an unrealistic policy of eradicating the virus, or keeping NZ free of it, which involves essentially imprisoning it's population within NZ territory for the foreseeable, possibly long term future. At some stage we have to accept that how ever much we try and mitigate it's effects, we are going, as world, to have to live with the virus and the risks that go with it.
Vaccination and more effective treatments form part of that "living with it" and with luck should enable the resumption of travel sometime in the next 12 months.
