Mr Morrison on Friday said that that the government is seeking advice from the medical expert panel on preconditions that are needed to be fulfilled in order to reopen Australia’s international borders, to allow vaccinated people to travel overseas and return without having to go into hotel quarantine.
“That will be a major change and to extent to which Australians returning from overseas who have had recognised vaccines also approved here in Australia with appropriate accreditation can return to Australia on that same basis and to enable potentially down the track travel from low-risk countries with similar vaccine arrangements, he said.
