SINGAPORE, June 11 (Bloomberg): A planned quarantine-free travel corridor between Australia and Singapore may take months to open because of delays to Australia’s Covid-19 vaccination programme.

The two countries are "putting systems in place that will enable such a bubble to emerge between Singapore and Australia as it does now occur between Australia and New Zealand, ” Australia Prime Minister Scott Morrison said at a joint virtual press conference after meeting Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong on Thursday.

He cautioned that any corridor is still some time away.
