Australia has delayed its international border reopening by two weeks to mid-December to allow authorities time to analyse Omicron, the new variant of the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus, which causes the COVID-19 disease.

The move will delay the start of travel bubbles with Japan and South Korea, due to start Dec.1 until Dec. 15.
