Travel Safety Update: The US has lowered its travel advisory for New Caledonia from Level Three to Level Two, citing improved safety since the 2024 unrest, while still warning about petty crime, political tensions, and limited emergency help outside Nouméa. Regional Health Watch: The Cook Islands declared dengue-free after 26 days without new cases, but Tonga reports 66 cases with hospitalisations and no deaths so far—plus New Caledonia and Samoa are also seeing cases.
