Covid-19: Australia to lift international travel ban after 18 months in November

Australia plans to lift the 18-month Covid-19 pandemic ban on its vaccinated citizens travelling overseas from November. However, no timeline has been mentioned for welcoming international travelers.

Australia has outlined plans to lift a pandemic ban on its vaccinated citizens travelling overseas from November. But no date has yet been set for welcoming international tourists back.

Travel restrictions that have trapped most Australians and permanent residents at home over the past 18 months would be removed when 80 per cent of the population aged 16 and older is fully vaccinated, Prime Minister Scott Morrison said on Friday.
