Australia reopens to vaccinated international tourists

Published February 7, 2022 11:39pm ET



After nearly two years of closed borders, Australia announced Monday that it will begin allowing international tourists who are vaccinated against COVID-19 into the country in two weeks.

Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison said the travelers, who will be allowed in starting Feb. 21, must be double-vaccinated against COVID-19 and provide proof of vaccination. This marks the first time since March 2020 that travelers from anywhere in the world can visit Australia.
