Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern insists she was "absolutely not" responding to the Parliament protesters by outlining a plan to ease COVID-19 vaccine mandates.

Vaccine passes and some mandates will be done away with after New Zealand's Omicron outbreak peaks, which is likely to occur by the end of March, Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern says.
Based on the experience seen in some countries, there could be a "rapid decline" in cases following the peak, before they stabilise at a lower level, she said. It would be at this point where "we can start to do things differently", with Ardern mentioning that the traffic light settings will change.
