Sydney is scrapping mandatory quarantine for overseas travellers from next month, officials said Friday, signalling a faster-than-expected end to tough coronavirus restrictions.

Sydney, Australia –

Currently, anyone who enters Australia has to qualify for an exemption to travel and fork out many thousands of dollars to be locked in a hotel room for 14 days. “For double vaccinated people around the world, Sydney, New South Wales, is open for business,” he said. “Hotel quarantine will be a thing of the past. This is a significant day for our state.” Sydney’s 100-plus-day lockdown lifted last week and lingering rules are gradually being phased out.

Perrottet’s comments indicate those restrictions will be scrapped faster than planned — with tourists able to come to Australia too and quarantine requirements removed altogether.
