Australia’s Prime Minister announced a sweeping measure to ban all arrivals of non-residents, signaling a significant step in the nation’s efforts to combat the spread of COVID-19.
This stringent measure underscores the government’s commitment to prioritizing public health and safety. By restricting entry to only Australian residents, authorities aim to mitigate the risk of importing new cases and safeguard the community from the virus’s transmission.
The decision reflects the unprecedented challenges posed by the pandemic and the necessity for decisive action to protect citizens and residents alike. As Australia navigates these uncertain times, such measures are vital in containing the spread and ensuring the well-being of the nation.
“In addition to that, there’ll be advanced screening and reception arrangements put into place at the major airports to facilitate identifying and providing this information and ensuring the appropriate precautions are being put in place,” Morrison said on Saturday.
“There’ll also be thermometers which are provided to those airports and we’re working with those airport authorities now to ensure we can put those arrangements in place.”
