Australian government extends entry restrictions on foreign nationals

IMPACT – MEDIUM

The Australian government has extended entry restrictions for an additional week on foreign nationals who have recently been in mainland China. The restrictions will remain in place through Feb. 29.

Key Points:

• The entry ban applies to foreign nationals who have been in mainland China in the past 14 days.
• Australian citizens and permanent residents will still be able to enter, as will their immediate family members (spouses, legal guardians and dependent minor children).
• Australian citizens, permanent residents and their families who have been in mainland China from Feb. 1, and who return to Australia, are required to self-isolate for 14 days from the day on which they leave the Chinese mainland.
