Australia orders all travellers to self-quarantine
Australia has followed neigbour New Zealand in ordering all inbound travellers to undertake self -isolating from midnight Sunday.
In addition all cruise ship calls are banned for at least 30 days.
"To help stay ahead of this curve, we will impose a universal … self-isolation requirement on all arrivals to Australia and is effective from midnight tonight," Prime Minister Scott Morrison said.
It is a major blow for the tourism industry although it could give domestic travel a boost.
However even more restrictions are being mulled which may hamper that.
The government’s chief medical officer has warned that entire cities could be put in lockdown if necessary.
Under a new act passed last month, anyone violating the self-quarantine could be heavily fined.
"If your mate has been to Bali and they come back and they turn up at work and they are sitting next to you, they will be committing an offence," the PM said.
