The most concerned issue for Australians is when will Australia be unblocked. The government has repeatedly emphasized that once the vaccination rate exceeds 70%, the blockade will be lifted and wait until the vaccination rate reaches 80%< /span>, all borders may be open.
It's just that since the epidemic, the Australian people have heard too many similar promises, and in the end they have not been able to realize. This time, everyone has always maintained a skeptical attitude about the government's news.
The good news is that this time, things are really different!

"Daily Mail" reported that the Australian Cabinet is preparing to finalize the details of a new proposal. The proposal will allow fully vaccinated people to freely enter restaurants, airports, stadiums and bars.
The Cabinet will discuss the details of this proposal in the near future. It is foreseeable that if implemented in this way, the vaccination rate in Australia will increase to a higher level.
Currently, the government is developing the New Crown Vaccine Passport system, which is expected to reach 70% across Australia. , it was launched at some point in October.
Professor Tony Blakely, an epidemiologist at the University of Melbourne, also revealed in an interview that Victoria can switch to a more relaxed lockdown to control the number of cases before reaching the vaccination threshold, reopening some industries and people staying outdoors longer.

In addition to unblocking the entire vaccinated population in advance, another important issue in the Cabinet is also under discussion, and that is the vaccine passport program!
The most critical content of the vaccine passport program is to allow people who have been fully vaccinated to leave the country and stay home quarantined after returning to Australia.
At the same time, with a vaccine passport, there is no need to worry about the blockade of the state border.
And the attitude of the government in recent times has shown that as long as the vaccination rate reaches the target, not only will it be released on a large scale, but the vaccine passport will also be on the way.

In combination with South Australia's upcoming return to Australia program for overseas students, the government disclosed an 80% vaccination rate to start the country.
After the launch of the vaccine passport in October, as long as the vaccination rate is further increased, the border may really be opened.
This also seems to imply Morrison's remarks that the country's borders will be opened this year.
After waiting for so long, perhaps we really have to come to a conclusion about the opening of Australia's borders!
