Australia to reopen borders to fully vaccinated visitors

Australia has decided to reopen its borders to visitors from all over the world who are fully vaccinated against the coronavirus.

Prime Minister Scott Morrison announced on Monday that travel restrictions will be eased on February 21 after nearly two years of border closures.

Apparently referring to the recent saga involving tennis star Novak Djokovic, Morrison said events earlier in the year should have sent a very clear message to everyone around the world that being fully vaccinated is a requirement to enter Australia.

Djokovic was denied entry due to his vaccination status.
