The state will hit a new milestone today with its first batch of quarantine-free international travellers since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic due to land.
Fully vaccinated international arrivals touching down in the state from Monday will no longer have to undergo 14 days in hotel or home quarantine.
Passengers don't have to isolate if they are inoculated with an approved vaccine, provide a negative COVID-19 test within the 72 hours of departure and another 24 hours after arrival.
Children aged under 12 arriving with fully vaccinated parents, and people with a valid medical exemption will also not be required to quarantine.
