Australia and Singapore could open a travel bubble as early as July

Deputy Prime Minister Michael McCormack says Australia is working with Singapore to open up an international travel bubble, and believes others will open as the COVID-19 vaccine rolls out.

“We are working with Singapore at the moment, potentially for a bubble in July,” Mr McCormack, who is also transport minister, told the ABC’s Insiders program.

“As the vaccine rolls out not only in Australia but in other countries, we will reopen more bubbles.”

According to Nine newspapers, Australians would be allowed to travel to Singapore without approval from the Department of Home Affairs and without having to quarantine, provided they have been vaccinated for coronavirus.

Singaporeans who have had the the jab would be able to travel to Australia without having to complete two weeks of hotel quarantine.
