Australia to end ban on citizens returning from India

Australia’s Prime Minister Scott Morrison
(William WEST / AFP / MANILA BULLETIN)
Scott Morrison this week barred all travel from India, fearing a large number of Covid-positive arrivals would overwhelm Australia’s already strained quarantine facilities.
The move stranded an estimated 9,000 Australian citizens and threatened them with large fines and jail time if they tried to dodge the ban and return on non-direct flights.
The conservative prime minister on Friday said that the measures would remain in place until May 15 as planned, but then repatriation flights could resume.
“The determination was designed to be a temporary measure and the medical advice… is that it will be safe to allow it to expire as planned on 15 May,” he said.

Australian borders could be shut until late 2022

Since 20 March last year, Australians have been barred from travelling overseas
Australia is likely to remain shut to visitors until late 2022, the country's trade and tourism minister said, as another global coronavirus surge smashed hopes of a quick reopening.
Dan Tehan said a wave of cases on the Indian sub-continent showed Australia's near blanket ban on arrivals was still essential to keep the country Covid-free.
Since 20 March last year, Australians have been barred from travelling overseas and a hard-to-get individual exemption is needed for foreign visitors to enter the country.
It is "very hard to determine" when borders could reopen, Mr Tehan told Sky News, "the best guess would be in the middle to the second half of next year".
