I think the NZ goal is elimination, not eradication, as people will still travel here with it from time to time (and be quarantined on arrival).

Those 2 words are synonyms, I even went to the dictionary to check.
Your post sounds like govt PR spin. Swap elimination with eradication in your sentence and vice versa and nothing changes. -

@antipodean could be moot depending on how fast airlines bounce back or new ones surface - although I'm hopeful we'll get travel up and running between NZ-Oz asap, followed by the islands... but unsure how the latter will pan out if Covid is still rife with our pacific neighbours.
Who knows what protocols the airlines might impose on travellers - suspect it'll be a collective and coordinated approach between govt(s) and travel providers.

With testing, doesn't htat drop to 2-4 days, rather than 2 weeks? That's difficult, but not impossible

Agree, but given how far we've come in 4-6 weeks, another month or two could see a real step change.

Everything I've seen is two weeks quarantine.

I'm guessing only if the test is negative (is that the good one)?

Your post sounds like govt PR spin. Swap elimination with eradication in your sentence and vice versa and nothing changes.In epidemiology, eliminate means to have no cases in a region, and eradicate means to have no cases anywhere in the world.
An example of a disease which NZ has eliminated is rabies - can't get it here other than from overseas sources, but obviously it's still around in other parts of the world.
Smallpox is the only disease to be eradicated under the epidemiological definition.
No spin, just science.

Probably not many, hence all the predictions about the demise of international tourism as a significant part of the NZ economy. Get reliable quick result testing or a vaccine, and that will probably change.
