Scott Morrison confirms border restrictions will finally lift in Nov.
Prime Minister Scott Morrison has confirmed that overseas travel will be able to resume for fully vaccinated travellers from next month in states where the 80% threshold has been reached.
In a move flagged in today’s edition of Travel Daily, the PM said he would “stick with the plan” to open borders once vaccination had reached safe levels in line with earlier National Cabinet Meeting discussions.
Morrison also confirmed that fully vaccinated permanent residents arriving in NSW will be able to home quarantine for a week instead of paying for costly hotel quarantine for a fortnight.
Meanwhile the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) has recommended that Sinovac and Covishield also be recognised for inbound travellers to Australia.
