Australians already restless from not being allowed to travel abroad for leisure purposes for nearly 12 months, will now need to endure another three-month wait.
Greg Hunt, Australia’s Minister for Health, confirmed that the current human biosecurity emergency period, enacted on 17 March 2020, has been extended until 17 June 2021 – a 15-month hiatus on outbound travel.
Last week Qantas confirmed it was pushing back its planned resumption of international flights from July until the end of October 2021.
Hunt said that the extension of the travel ban will “ensure the Australian Government has the powers to take any necessary measures to continue to prevent and control COVID-19”.
