Australia’s Minister for Trade Simon Birmingham has predicted that overseas travel is “highly unlikely” to resume this year due to the existing threat of exposing Australians to the global CCP virus outbreak. Apart from a proposed New Zealand “travel bubble,” Australia’s borders will remain closed to the world for now.
“I can’t raise false hope that there’s going to be some sort of open border arrangement for free travel again during the course of this year,” Birmingham told Sky News on June 18.
