The report said it could be possible for people from other countries to enter Australia via Singapore after completing two weeks’ quarantine in Singapore.
The Sydney Morning Herald also cited Australian Trade Minister Dan Tehan as saying he had held discussions with his Singaporean counterpart Chan Chun Sing about the travel bubble.
It quoted Tehan as saying that Singapore is keen to work with Australia on vaccination certificates and that both ministers agreed to work together on this./.
