Australia's State Borders Slowly Begin to Reopen After COVID-19

Phil Mercer

   SYDNEY - South Australia has become the first state in the country to
   relax its border controls imposed to contain the COVID-19 pandemic.
   From Wednesday, travellers from Western Australia, the Northern
   Territory and Tasmania are allowed to enter South Australia without
   going into quarantine. Australia has had 7,300 confirmed coronavirus
   cases. 102 people have died.
   South Australia closed its borders to other parts of the country in
   March when the COVID-19 crisis was intensifying. It was an attempt to
   stop the spread of the disease.
