Australia is considering opening its borders to low-risk Asian countries such as Taiwan, Japan, Singapore and even parts of China, Prime Minister Scott Morrison said on Tuesday, as Canberra seeks to revive an economy battered by COVID-19.
Reviving tourism would be a much-needed boost to Australia’s economy, which shrank 7% in the three months that ended in June, the most since records began in 1959. Morrison ruled out entry from the United States or Europe.
