Australian Health Minister Greg Hunt said on Friday that there has been no community infection of the new crown virus in 4 of the past 5 days in Australia, so there is no need for states and territories to continue to close their internal borders.
Hunt said that, medically speaking, there is no reason for states and territories not to open their borders. He also said that Christmas is approaching, and states and territories should create conditions for Australians to reunite during Christmas.
In addition, according to the plan, Prime Minister Morrison and the heads of states and territories will hold a cabinet meeting on Friday to discuss the issue of border opening. So far, Queensland and Western Australia are still reluctant to open their borders to NSW and Victoria.
