Unfortunately they have to do it right now. Allowing it to spread again would undo so much of what theyve done. Until at least next year we cant be loose about Covid, vaccine or not.

It's mainly for expats working there who have wanted to come back home since COVID flared up there but Australia has really cut back on return flights to the country because we keep having COVID outbreaks from hotel quarantine (everyone who enters from overseas has to quarantine in a hotel for 14 days).

Australia has basically gone for elimination, which by and large has worked, with only around 2,000 locally transmitted cases of COVID since the outbreak (aside from one state, Victoria, which had around 20,000 last year as they are the most densely populated)

Australia has 10 active cases in the community right now.

I saw this anime where a group of guys had to travel by plane, boat, train, car, camel, and more to get to Egypt. What are the chances that some "influencer" rich kid will just travel on land out of India, then lie about where they had been the past 2 weeks as they try and fly to Australia?

That's basically what people are doing. Flying to Doha and changing planes and lying about being in India.

I get that the world isn't as bad as media portrays but I feel like now isn't the time for Youtubers to be traveling to "bad parts" of the world for fun and showing everybody that "City/country X" isn't full of criminals that want to murder/rape/kidnap white people.

Those bastards. They aren't even traveling to kill some vampire who stole the body of their grandfather/ great great grandfather as well as to save the life of their daughter/ mother.

India looks like it just got invaded by Father Nurgle.

I'm glad we are finally shutting the borders properly.

Too many stupid loopholes where people are flying out to have weddings.

New Zealand did the same for a while, but we've gone back to allowing citizens (but not permanent residents) to come back from India now. Although apparently it's almost impossible in practice due to travel bans on India in countries they'd have to transit through.

It definitely made a HUGE difference to the number of cases showing up in border quarantine, and I suspect it's a big factor in why the post-trans-Tasman-bubble breaches have all been on Australia's side even though typically New Zealand has a higher rate of border failures. Of course, if they'd just open proper fucking quarantine facilities instead of using hotels in major cities...

Good. I wish every country had done this from the start. Sorry if you get locked out of your home nation but we are trying to prevent millions of deaths. The virus got so bad cause there are too many fucking loopholes and exceptions and people were still traveling.

Well, here in New Zealand, the government spent the last year saying "we can't deny entry to citizens", only to do it without a second thought when 20 cases from the same country in one day spooked them.
