Govt extends travel ban to South Korea | Sky News Australia

Giving an update on the situation in Canberra, Prime Minister Scott Morrisons said the decision to add South Korea to the list, and not Italy, was due to the high numbers of travellers from the nation. Enhanced screening measures will be implemented for those arriving from Italy.

“In relation to Korea, the reason we have taken this decision is because of the high level of visitation we are seeing from Korea then we have seen come from Italy,” Mr Morrison said. “So that ban is put in place because it affords the best protection and enables us to slow down the rate of transmission.”

ScottMorrisonMP I hear a report that we now have 40 COVID-19 cases. Is this true? If so, you are not managing this al all. It is time to shut down all travel. This is rediculous. Your government should be held legally responsible for any deaths. You could have prevented this.

Iran has more cases than South Korea and Italy has far more deaths yet Australia bans South Korea & Iran but not Italy? Very, very strange... auspol coronavirusaustralia COVID2019

Wow, how late are they. Should have closed the border to non citizens weeks ago. The government is useless.
