Australia to lift outbound travel ban for vaccinated residents from next week

The decision to lift the travel ban from next week comes after Singapore on Tuesday said it would allow quarantine-free entry to travellers vaccinated against Covid-19 from Australia from November 8.

All fully-vaccinated Australian citizens and permanent residents will be able to leave the country without a special exemption from November 1, authorities said on Wednesday, as Australia eases coronavirus restrictions amid a rise in vaccination rates.
