Almost two years after the government closed Australia to the world, the international border is set to reopen to those who are fully vaccinated.
Prime Minister Scott Morrison said after new medical advice, the new border rules would come into place on February 21.
“The condition is you must be double vaccinated to come to Australia,” he said.
“That’s the rule. Everyone is expected to abide by it.”
The news will be welcomed by tourism bodies, which have been crying out for movement on the border closure that has hampered some businesses. (ABC news)
