Sydney — Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison says it is still not safe to allow residents fully-vaccinated for Covid-19 to travel overseas, as industries hit hard by the pandemic press for a faster reopening of international borders.
Morrison said any plans to relax border rules for vaccinated travellers could be implemented “only when it is safe to do so”. Airlines, tourism operators and universities, reeling from the impact of border bans, have been urging the federal government to fast track the opening of borders. “Our health system, particularly our public hospitals, are operating beyond capacity and appear ill-equipped to deal with any surge in demand resulting from any community spread of Covid-19,” AMA president Omar Khorshid said.
