Prime Minister Voreqe Bainimarama says US President Joe Biden's decision to welcome fully vaccinated international visitors paves the way to quarantine-free travel between Fiji and the USA from 1 December.

He says this is great news for Fijians on either side of the Pacific.

The US has said that it will reopen its borders to fully vaccinated travellers from 33 countries on 8 November.

Under new rules announced by the White House, vaccinated people who have had a negative test in the 72 hours before travelling will be allowed to enter.
