Australia has further relaxed restrictions on coronavirus infection. Citizens who receive the full dose of the vaccine can now leave the country without permission. In addition, International students and staff will be allowed to re-enter Australia within this year. The information was given in a joint statement issued by the Ministry of Health and Home Affairs on Wednesday.
Australia has closed its international border for more than a year and a half due to corona, the AFP news agency reported. The country has recently started vaccination activities quite loudly. Australia has reached the goal of vaccinating 80 per cent of adults with the full dose. Due to this, the new decision was taken with some relief.
Australian Home Minister Karen Andrews said vaccination rates had risen. For this reason, Australian citizens will be given priority overseas travel if they have been vaccinated for the time being. The ban will also be relaxed for some people who are not citizens of the country. In addition, full-dose vaccinated staff and students will be allowed to enter Australia before the end of this year.
Earlier, Prime Minister Scott Morrison told a television channel that the Australian border for Singapore would be opened soon. As a result, travelers will be able to travel between the two countries in accordance with hygiene rules if they have been vaccinated in full dose. In this case quarantine will not be required.
Australia has taken a number of drastic measures since the start of the Corona epidemic. All the borders of the country have been closed since March 20 last year. Thousands of people in and out of the country are suffering.
