The newly announced strong border policy is unpleasant but allows contact tracing and isolation. We can operate business 'nearly' as usual (imports/exports ok). Stay strong Australia. #COVID19au No need to #Lockdownaustralia

uhh, it seems relatively possible that there is already sustained community transmission in NSW at least... need to Lock down and shut schools.

Gov records show 61% of cases have direct/indirect travel history. If cases still under investigation follow similar pattern then over 80% of cases have travel history. This makes border closure + 14 day isolation for all travellers an epidemiologically sound decision.

What truly terrible and dangerous advice. There's already many cases of community transmission (not from overseas travellers) happening in Aus. Stay home as much as possible and try to slow the tranmission rate. Anything else is irresponsible

Must #LOCKDOWNAUSTRALIA and #ShutTheSchoolsNow This is an a-moral population cull. It's difficult to believe just how evil these forces are.

Disagree. The self quarantine is voluntary. There is no-one to check compliance. If this was implemented 3 weeks ago then maybe. It’s past that point now. #LockDownAustralia is inevitable, either do it NOW or do it in 2 weeks when cases have passed 25,000 with hospitals broken.
