A prediction: There will be a second wave overseas, with the mass protests at the moment being a catalyst. This will bring Covid-19 back to the attention of media and put pressure on the government to keep international borders closed.

Without a second wave, I think we can open to some countries in September. With second wave, Feb 2021.

There will however be pressure to open up earlier so international students can register for the first semester of the year. They may allow only specific visa classes through in a staged model (eg. professionals & students before tourists).
