Yes it seems that New Zealand will attempt to wait for a vaccine and in the mean time impose a quarantine on anyone who arrives from another country. Balaji Srinivasan thinks we will see the world divided into "red" zones where the virus is still widespread and ”green" zones where the virus has been contained. Travelers will be able to move fairly freely between green zones countries. So if you're in Taiwan you might be able to visit Australia or New Zealand without a quarantine.

This is already happening, see these rules for foreign travel published by the Czech ministry of health:

https://www.mvcr.cz/mvcren/article/coronavirus-information-o...

There is a map with green, orange and green countries.

UK and Sweden are red, most of western Europe orange.

For green countries, Czech citizens can go there and back without the need to present negative tests results and enter quarantine. Same thing for residents and nationals of those countries.

For orange countries, Czech citizens can go there and back without the need to present negative tests results and enter quarantine. Residents and nationals of those countries are banned from entering Czech Republic.

For red countries, Czech citizens can go there but need to present negative tests results and enter quarantine. Residents and nationals of those countries are banned from entering Czech Republic.

Considering for most countries the published numbers are very debatable (even in Europe there are plenty of arguments), imho that’s a foolish strategy. Quarantine should probably be implemented worldwide. I say that against my best interests, I am long overdue a holiday, but I don’t want to feel my lungs full of water.

Possibly for most, but for New Zealand and Australia it looks ok.
