Vaccinated Australian citizens and permanent residents living in New South Wales, Victoria and the capital Canberra will be free to fly internationally from Monday without the need of an exemption or to quarantine upon return. ADVERTISEMENTFor now, however, only tourists from neighboring New Zealand will be allowed into Australia, provided they are vaccinated. “The resumption of quarantine free travel from New Zealand to Australia is another important marker on our road to recovery,” Tourism Minister Dan Tehan said in a statement. There were more than 1,200 new coronavirus cases recorded across Australia on Sunday, with 1,036 in Victoria and 177 infections in New South Wales. Nearly 77% of all Australians have been now fully vaccinated, and more than 88% have received their first dose.
