Coronavirus has gripped the whole world with its spread. Australia will within weeks allow residents of New Zealand to enter the country without any quarantine norms, Deputy Prime Minister Michael McCormack stating on Friday, as the capital city Canberra seeks to revitalize its weak economy as COVID-19 cases begin to decrease. Australia in March closed its borders to all non-citizens and permanent residents to restrain the expanse of COVID-19. Beginning its borders for the first time to foreigners, McCormack said New Zealand citizens and residents will be allowed to travel to Australia’s most populous state New South Wales and its remote Northern Territory from Oct 16.

Immigrants coming will not have to undergo a two-week mandatory quarantine, which is expected by all Australians returning from other nations. “This is the first stage in what we hope to see as a trans- Tasman bubble between the two countries,” McCormack informed reporters in Canberra. New Zealand has effectively annihilated COVID-19, decreasing the peril of additional infections in Australia. While Australia has lifted constraints on its closest partner, New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said earlier on Friday those who travel Australia would have to quarantine on their return.

She also said New Zealand would not open its borders for Australians right now. The travel route is a boost to Australia’s economy, which contracted 7% in the three months resisted June, the most since records began in 1959, as virus hindrances paralyzed business activity. New Zealand is Australia’s largest market for visitor arrivals, surpassing China due to the pandemic, according to the Australian Tourism 2020 data. Australia has in recent days expedited plans to stoke economic growth as COVID-19 cases slow significantly.
