A third wave of coronavirus is sweeping through the South American country of Chile despite much of the population having been vaccinated.
Chile has vaccinated 59% of its population, according to the New York Times, making it the nation with the fourth-highest rate of coronavirus jabs in the world.
He added: “Chile is a country where the rate of vaccination amongst the population was third highest in the world – they were ahead of us in terms of the number of people who have had the vaccine – and they’re suddenly now into a third wave.
He told Sky News he supported a traffic light system for foreign travel, adding: “So if we’re talking about travelling directly to a country with a very low rate of the disease, and if the proper precautions are taken in that you’re fully tested or fully vaccinated, then I think it is quite feasible to allow people to travel overseas.
