The Australian state of New South Wales (NSW), including its capital Sydney, will end COVID-19 hotel quarantine requirements for fully vaccinated international travelers entering the state from November 1.

NSW Premier Dominic Perrottet said people would only need to take the test for the disease before boarding a flight, and they would also need to show proof of complete vaccination.

"For double vaccinated people around the world, Sydney, NSW, is open for business," he told a press conference on Friday.
