“International travellers into and out of Australia will still be required to provide proof of double vaccination against Covid-19. Travellers will also still be required to wear a mask while on international flights based on medical advice.”
— Greg Hunt, Australian Health Minister
International travellers visiting Australia will not need to take the mandatory Covid-19 test starting April 17, Australian Health Minister Greg Hunt said last week. “International travellers into and out of Australia will still be required to provide proof of double vaccination against Covid-19. Travellers will also still be required to wear a mask while on international flights based on medical advice,” Hunt said
These measures will be adopted under non-emergency provisions in the Biosecurity Emergency Determination regulations relating to Covid-19 for Australia, the Minister said. “The requirements for maritime arrivals will also be aligned with those on airlines, as part of the safety protocols for the resumption of cruising,” Hunt noted.
