NSW Premier Dominic Perrottet announced at a press conference this morning that hotel and home quarantine will no longer be required for double-vaccinated people entering NSW, including those coming from overseas, from November 1.
Dominic Perrottet announced from November 1:
- People will only be required to take a COVID-19 test before boarding a flight and show proof of full vaccination;
- There will be no caps on overseas arrivals of people who have received two doses of a COVID-19 vaccine recognised by the medical regulator, the Therapeutic Goods Administration;
Overseas arrivals who are not fully vaccinated will be capped at 210 people per week and will be required to undergo mandatory 14-days hotel quarantine.
At the time of writing this, there had been no response from the Federal Government to Mr Perrottet’s announcement.
If NSW do open up as announced, how other States and Territories react will be interesting.
Mr Perrottet also announced that travel between Greater Sydney and regional NSW for fully-vaccinated people has been pushed back until November 1.
