Prime Minister Fiame Naomi Mata’afa said Cabinet considered the plan for reopening of international borders.
“Critical to this decision are the current rates of our vaccination programme, amendments to quarantine conditions and the opening of borders of our neighboring countries, like Australia and Fiji as well as New Zealand in October this year,” Fiame said yesterday.
Cabinet also approved the continuation of Alert level two (orange) for another two weeks with some amendments.
The National University of Samoa will resume classes as planned early this month.
