All foreigner travellers will be banned from entering Australia from tomorrow night.

Prime Minister Scott Morrison has announced the enhanced border measures in response to the coronavirus outbreak.

It applies to all non-citizens and non-residents.

Australians will still be able to return from overseas but they will be required to self-isolate for 14 days.

The Government had previously banned foreign nationals from coming to Australia from China, Iran, Italy and South Korea.

We're an island, and could've taken better steps in the first place.

Special dispensation for foreign uni students who have undergone offshore at-own-expense quarantine

having fenced in the herd , now is the time to sheep dip all therein , by lab testing each and everyone , regardless of age, Positives regardless of symptoms get clinically isolated with appropriarte treatment, those associated with them get  enforced 14 day quarantine 

Retest whole population after 3 weeks

If all is well within 6 weeks Australia should be covid-19 free and safe to resume normal living of life 

The Chinese should soon have a surplus of test kits , cheaper by the millions , so no excuses , although we might have to grant amnesty to permanent resident visa-overstayers to encourage them to submit willingly. ( We are afterall a polite society ) 

If we can arrange elections which rope in most of the adult population , we can arrange this.

Latest test kits is onsite only takes 15 minutes -
