The Australian state of Queensland will open its borders to international travellers from 1 a.m. on Saturday as it is due to reach a vaccination rate milestone of 90 percent in the coming days.

Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk said she convened a meeting of the state’s COVID-19 task force where they decided to “set a firm date” to allow double-dose vaccinated travellers unrestricted entry to Queensland.
