Coronavirus travel ban extended for another week from 15 February 2020
This means that for another week, foreign nationals - except permanent residents and their immediate family members - who have been in mainland China will not be allowed to enter Australia for 14 days from the time they left.
Temporary visa holders who are ineligible for entry into Australia will have their visas cancelled if they attempt to travel to Australia.
If you are an Australian citizen or permanent resident and have left or transited through mainland China, you must isolate yourself until 14 days after leaving China.
The restrictions will be reviewed by the Australian Health Protection Principal Committee (AHPPC) in one week’s time.
