Australia to reopen borders to all vaccinated Singaporeans from Nov 21

SINGAPORE: Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison on Sunday (Oct 31) announced Australia would reopen its borders to all vaccinated Singaporeans from Nov 21.

This means that vaccinated travellers from Singapore will not need to quarantine on arrival, in states that "sign up to the approach", according to Australian newspaper The Age.

The prime ministers finalised the arrangement on Sunday in Rome, where both are attending the G20 summit, The Age reported.

The move was welcomed by Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong, who said it was "a significant step towards restoring the close connectivity between Singapore and Australia". Mr. Lee also thanked Mr. Morrison for the decision.

Singapore is the second country Australia is opening up to, after New Zealand. (For more details : https://www.channelnewsasia.com/singapore/australia-reopen-borders-vaccinated-singaporeans-victoria-new-south-wales-2281021?cid=telegram_cna_social_28112017_cna) (image credit : Forbes.com)
