Specifically, Australia will abolish the requirement that travelers take a COVID-19 screening test before flying to Australia. However, travelers still need to ensure some other requirements such as presenting a certificate of having had two full shots of the COVID-19 vaccine and wearing a mask on all domestic and international flights.

Meanwhile, the National Health Officer, Professor Paul Kelly, has confirmed not recommending the government to extend the Biosafety Emergency Declaration for the time being, but said the regulation could change. in the future, depending on the actual situation.

Since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic in Australia, the Biosafety Emergency Declaration has been issued and renewed by the Australian government eight times, over a 25-month period, with the latest renewal being ends on 4/17. This statement includes regulations that international travelers must have a mandatory COVID-19 screening test before entering Australia, restricting travel abroad for Australians who have not been vaccinated against COVID-19, restrictions on international cruise line entry and anti-dumping for COVID-19 rapid antigen test kits.
