Will Australia's Borders Be Open for Christmas? COVID Update - Behind the News

The Australian Government recently announced its plans to get nearly all of Australia’s state and territory borders open before Christmas. But, as we saw in South Australia this week, plans can change quickly. We meet some kids who’re hoping to reunite with their family members for the holidays and find out about plans to get us all together again. People with families on the other side of the country, might be feeling like these holidays will be spent home alone. Because of COVID a lot of us have been kept apart for a long time and now we're looking towards Christmas and wondering, when we'll all be together again? The Prime Minister, Scott Morrison, does have a plan for re-opening all of Australia's internal borders or at least he did have a plan. SCOTT MORRISON, PRIME MINISTER: This is the plan, and it sets it out. It'd be very familiar, I think, to many. The reopening plan to get Australia open by Christmas of this year. But plans can change, just ask South Australia. After months and months of no coronavirus cases a cluster popped up in Adelaide and SA began Australia's harshest lock down yet. But then the plans changed again. 6 days became 3 days when authorities found out it wasn't spreading on pizza boxes. It's a long story. GRANT STEVENS, SA POLICE COMMISSIONER: The lie was the person claimed they'd purchased a pizza from the pizza shop. Where in fact they were working there and had been working there for several shifts. That clearly changes the circumstances and had this person been truthful to the contact tracing teams we would not have gone into a six-day lockdown. While it was a huge relief for South Aussies, it put a bit of a glitch in the PM's open-border-reunited-for-the-holidays-plan with several states now considering SA a hotspot. Meanwhile there are stacks of Aussies still stuck overseas trying to get home. As well as Aussies who can't travel overseas to see their family. But it's not all bad news. Borders have started to open up and people have been reunited with loved ones, both the human and the animal kind. On Monday New South Wales became the first state to completely open its borders and many are hoping there's still a chance we'll all be together again for Christmas. So, fingers crossed, but we're all getting pretty good at coping with changes this year. Even if that maybe means being home, and in some cases alone.
