Australia is eager to start quarantine-free travel with Singapore as soon as possible, Trade and Tourism Minister Dan Tehan said.

“We are very keen to see that laneway open as soon as we possibly can,” Tehan said in a Bloomberg Television interview Tuesday. “I’ll be doing everything I can to make sure we get that lane open.”

Hopes of quarantine-free travel between the two nations were raised last week when Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison said he expected borders to open more quickly.
