That could include future holidays at destinations including Samoa, Fiji, Vanuatu, Cook Islands and the Solomon Islands but at this stage that’s a long way off with Fiji currently reporting over 1000 Covid cases a day.
International border caps will remain in place with low-level international arrivals, with “safe and proportionate quarantine to minimise the risk of Covid entering Australia.”The Doherty modelling indicates what Australians can expect when vaccination rates hit 70 per cent.
However, this would only allow expats to return home more freely, it would not allow for all Australians to travel overseas on holidays. There would be a gradual reopening of inward and outward international travel, with safe countries and proportionate quarantine and reduced requirements for fully vaccinated inbound travel.International travel, potentially to places like Singapore and the Pacific, could be reintroduced in phase C.It’s not clear what the time frame is for the final stage of the process.
At this stage, the plan is for international travel only and there’s no agreement with the states to roll it out to offer vaccinated adults greater freedom to travel in the event of border closures.
I know guys hate asking for direction, but the fact that Scotty from Marketing waited 18 months after the first COVID case in Australia to turn to a map is just taking it to a whole other level...
