Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison in a statement said; “If you’re double vaccinated, we look forward to welcoming you back.”

Mr. Morrison on Monday also said those entering Australia when the borders fully reopened would need to provide proof of vaccination: “That’s the rule. Everyone is expected to abide by it,” he said.

Unvaccinated travelers who have a medical reason for not being jabbed will still need to apply for a travel exemption and, if successful, will be required to quarantine at a hotel.
