Australia will no longer demand tourists to declare whether they have received their COVID-19 vaccination starting this week, according to officials.
In a statement, Health Minister Mark Butler said people will now be able to travel to and from Australia without being required to declare their COVID-19 vaccination status from July 6.
“The Australian government makes decisions on COVID-19-related issues after considering the latest medical advice,” said Butler.
However, travelers will still comply with any remaining COVID-19 requirements of airlines and shipping operators, as well as other countries and states and territories.
“This currently includes wearing masks on inbound international flights. State and territory orders mandating masks on domestic flights also remain in place,” said the minister.
