Resumen
Descripción
With some COVID-19 vaccines now approved
and starting to be rolled-out in several countries globally,
Papua New Guinea (PNG) and the Pacific Island Countries
(PICs) are considering how they can restore international
travel with the rest of the world. This report outlines
three potential sequential phases of border entry policy in
PNG and the PICs: 1. Establishing international travel for
cohorts of specific types of travelers; 2. COVID-19 safe
travel corridors; 3. A ‘new normal’ – which could involve
some combination of: (i) widely available vaccine(s) or
treatment; (ii) accurate, rapiddiagnostic and antibody
testing; and (iii) fit-for-purpose tracing and
health-surveillance capacity.
