Australia, which started this week with the first phase of vaccination aimed at health workers, has had its borders closed since March 2020 and prevents its nationals from traveling abroad, although it maintains a low number of repatriation flights, reported EFE.

Qantas stressed that once it resumes its international operations, these will be different to the period before the pandemic and expects to fully resume its routes by 2024.
