I just realised my nephew who arrived from France and leaves quarantine in Sydney tomorrow morning might not get to SA after all.

And Ms FM who has been so careful is heading for a wedding in the Blue Mountains tomorrow. Should be safe but who knows. I have been sending her a constant stream of messages about not hugging and sanitising

Well there would be no health reason why he shouldn't be allowed into SA as he has been in quarantine as long as he goes direct to the airport.

Unfortunately though politicians have very little knowledge of health matters judging by their actions in 2020.

It sad that our situation is so fragile...

We always knew more cases would pop up - hopefully NSW will get on this quickly and squash it, as they have done before. Hope they find the source soon.

The case situation or the border closure situation?

Well 16 (not including the crew driver) is worse than Crossroads, which was about a 13 person initial event/superspread location - and in addition to what amounts to I think a stay at home request - is not a good indication.

Crossroad got to about 60 I think. Biggest cluster I think was at Thai Rock at over 100

Worth considering that people in this part of Sydney (northern beaches) will be much more complaint with the “rush to get tested” call and will subsequently be the same in regards to any stay at home orders, so I’d expect higher numbers but a quicker resolution.

AHPPC / State Chief Health Officers are hooking up at 8pm tonight regarding the NSW cluster.

and at work we are ready to gear up (providing funding) for residents in aged care who wish to go home to other family (we have 2 levels - these ones are Tier 2 - no infections in facility (yet)).

Sorry lost the right thread so posting here
Reports that travellers from Sydney to Western Australia have been ordered to enter-self quarantine and stay there until they have tested negative for COVID-19, as the WA Government considers another hard border with New South Wales.
"Anyone arriving directly from Sydney Airport or from another Australian airport having been in NSW on or after 11 December, from this point forward must take a COVID-19 test, either at Perth Airport on arrival, or at another COVID clinic within 24 hours, and follow the same self-quarantine requirement until a negative test result is confirmed," Mr McGowan said.

Tasmania has now updated their entry details.Anyone who has attended places in the high risk venues issued by NSW Health are prohibited from entering Tasmania.Funny that this is under the radar and WA and QLD by comparison not as severe.
"Travellers who have been at these premises during the specified times are not permitted to enter Tasmania unless approved as an Essential Traveller."

The Victorian Department of Health and Human Services advises anyone who has spent time in the northern beaches area since December 11 to stay at home and get tested on Friday.

Waiting for the WA reaction with bated breath.

Fairly sensible model. Let’s hope some common sense prevails and this is the National approach.

That only 14,000 people who have registered with DFAT since June 9th have made it back to Australia & there are another 40,000 or so currently registered demonstrates the old 'watch what we do not what we say' maxim.

No,you are misrepresenting things I think. Almost double the 14,000 who originally registered have returned to Australia. The Government has seen the repatriation of everyone numericallywho expressed interest in returning, via registration and ( not part of the quote) has seen return almost double that amount.

I ask the same as before. How do you propose the government confirs " priority" on any of its citizens who don't let them know they want to return?

If the Federal Govt meant what their spin has been saying - then registering with DFAT WOULD confer priority. As we agree - it clearly does not.

Does DFAT or the government say or spin that registering confers priority? This is what your DFAT link says:

Registering your details with DFAT does not guarantee we can facilitate your return to Australia. However it does help us better understand who's seeking to return home and how we can be most effective in helping.

So, it looks like the opposite of what you say. Can you show where priority is promised to registrants, spin or no spin?

Oh, and if you quote me, please don't modify the quote unless you note the modification.

Love your optimism... Doubt it is accurate though.

Not correct drron - Tasmania is flying in at least 700 foreign workers in preference. It seems for PR purposes the first international flight was the 'repatriation' flight from India.

Not correct. The Tasmanian overseas workers program is organised by the Tasmanian government and its not part of the Australian government repatriation scheme. No one is being displaced by the Timor Leste and Tongan flights. The Tas govt only agreed to any international flights about as month ago if foreign workers were to the fore. No foreigners, no Australians to Tas.

There are many more Australians wanting repatriation from India than any other country. So why would you characterise the flight as a PR exercise?? ?

Sorry, I think you really are flogging a dead horse on this topic.

And McGowan has done it!

Anyone entering WA from NSW after midnight tonight will need to self isolate for 14 days and have a Covid test on day 11

Coronavirus: WA imposes new COVID19 border control rules after new Sydney cluster

 

[Lynda2475]

And McGowan has done it!

He did it 4.5 hours ago, i posted about it on previous page. No one is surprised he moved first.

Qld expected to make Northern Beaches a hotspot tomorrow.
