All the countries around the world are battling with the ongoing covid-19 infection. But several countries are giving relief to the travellers. As Australia has been gradually opening up to travellers, Prime Minister, Scott Morrison has flagged certain travel rules and arrangements with two Asian countries, Japan and South Korea. Xinhua news agency recently reported that Morrison informed the Victorian Chamber of Commerce and Industry that quarantine-free travel between Australia and the two Asian countries (Japan and South Korea) would be resuming soon after a long suspension of more than 18 months time period.
Fully vaccinated Australians will be allowed to travel to Singapore without the mandatory need of quarantine if they provide a negative RT-PCR report of Covid-19 within 48 hours of their travel, that is, from their departure and arrival(back). From November 21st, the borders of Australia will also be opening the other way for the travellers who have received both their doses of vaccine. This means that travellers from Singapore will be able to fly into Melbourne, Canberra and Sydney without undergoing quarantine.

Morrison on Wednesday said that “Singapore will open up on the 21st of November. I think we’ll move relatively quickly beyond that into Japan and South Korea, and before the end of the year I hope that we will open up even more.” He also informed that skilled workers and international students will be allowed back into Australia without any mandatory quarantine as soon as possible. “Students will be able to come back to Australia by the end of the year”, he said
According to the reports by the Department of Health, about 89.7 per cent of Australians of age 16 and over have received their first dose of vaccine for Covid-19 and around 81.5 per cent of people have been fully vaccinated.
