Border Force says most Chinese students who arrived immediately after travel bans were introduced have been allowed to stay.

"We are not happy about the situation because they were not alerted. There was not enough time to be alerted about the restriction," the Chinese Embassy's deputy head of mission Wang Xining said in Canberra on Tuesday.

"I don't accept that my officers acted inappropriately. It is a very unfortunate situation for everybody...So I'm proud of the fact of the way we responded to it."He said officials in Beijing were promptly informed of the Morrison government's travel ban and measures put in place to renew visas. The 61 people allowed to stay after the travel bans came into effect are being monitored by the state and territory health departments as they stay in self-isolation for the coronavirus two-week incubation period.
