Relax the conditions for entering Australia.

Since the outbreak of the epidemic, the previously relaxed upper limit of overseas arrivals in Australia has been tightened again. Under the pressure of mutating virus, States have successively lowered the upper limit of the number of immigrants.

And this restriction has been revised in the past two days!

Morrison officially announced that the maximum number of overseas returnees to Australia will be raised, and the maximum number of people arriving in South Australia will be raised to 530, and Victoria will be raised to1310; Entry restrictions in New South Wales and Queensland will return to normal levels on February 15.

However, in Western Australia, as the isolated hotel employees were diagnosed with COVID-19, whether the entry limit can be relaxed is still under communication.

Regarding the decision of the cabinet, Morrison said in an interview: It has always been the most important point for the government to let Australians stranded overseas go home. Although COVID-19 mutation has appeared in many countries in the world, I believe that Australia's isolation system can perfectly isolate risks from the community.

Inbound passengers or home isolation

After the vaccine is popularized, Australia's isolation system will also change.

Morrison confirmed

In addition, the centralized isolation of hotels will consume a lot of manpower and material resources. Obviously, these costs can be saved in the later period of the epidemic.

Moreover, home isolation will also make inbound tourists feel more comfortable and reduce the cost of returning to Australia in disguise.

However, the isolation at home cannot be changed in a short time. It is most likely to be realized in 10 this year. By then, according to the vaccination plan, Australia has completed vaccination. That is the best time to relax access restrictions and isolation restrictions.
