Reuters and other foreign media reported the 1st that Australia also decided to carry out Corona 19 testing for people arriving from China in connection with the deteriorating Corona 19 situation in China.
Australian Health Minister Mark Butler said the same day that “from the 5th, travelers arriving from China will be required to submit a negative COVID-19 test result prior to arrival”.
Butler added that there was a lack of comprehensive information on the COVID-19 situation in China.
He added that the measure was introduced to protect Australia from spreading a new mutation.
Currently, countries around the world are significantly tightening quarantine measures for travelers entering China as China has taken measures such as normalization of travel despite the recent increase in Corona 19.
Several countries, including the US, Korea, UK, France, Italy, Japan and India have already made it mandatory to present a negative COVID-19 test.
