After a ban of 18 months, Australia has decided to reopen its international border and lift the travel ban from November.
Though no date has been announced yet for welcoming international tourists back, Prime Minister Scott Morrison said that travel restrictions would be removed when 80% of the population aged 16 and older were fully vaccinated in the country.
"We’ve saved lives. We’ve saved livelihoods, but we must work together to ensure that Australians can reclaim the lives that they once had in this country," Morrison said on Friday.
Meanwhile, Sydney-based Qantas Airways had announced international flights would resume from Nov. 14 to London and Los Angeles.
As reported by India.com, "Australia’s top medical regulator has approved the Covishield vaccine manufactured by the Serum Institute of India, Pune for incoming international travellers, a step that is expected to facilitate the return of thousands of Indian students to that country."
"Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison’s office said the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) has advised that Coronavac (Sinovac) and Covishield should be considered as “recognised vaccines” for the purpose of determining incoming international travellers as being appropriately vaccinated", India.com reported.
