result to enter the country, and can instead do so with a negative RAT test within 24 hours of departure.
In a statement, Health Minister Greg Hunt and Home Affairs counterpart Karen Andrews said the changed requirements would allow greater flexibility for travellers.International arrivals to Australia will no longer have to provide a negative PCR test result within three days of departure. "This will reduce wait times for travellers who contract COVID-19 overseas to return to Australia in line with the new domestic isolation requirements," the statement read.
Makes sense, imagine having to isolate 14 days just to arrive in Sydney and be told to isolate for another 7 days, most of time people won't follow it so might as well break it into 7 days there and 7 days here.
We’re opening up and ‘letting it rip’. ‘Omicron is a game changer’, people don’t get seriously ill and die from this variant, it’s just a ‘little flu’. That’s why we’re scrambling to do RATs, isolate people and the (hosp, ICU, death) stats are so bad…hey wait? 🤔😵💫
Because our Govt is trying to kill us all.

Australia scraps PCR testing requirement for overseas arrivals, replaced by rapid testsFrom January 23, international travellers can arrive in Australia after providing a negative rapid test, rather than a PCR result. It’s amazing how quickly these requirements have changed, give it a few weeks and you’ll only be allowed to enter australia if you have 2x positive test results and at least 3 symptoms of the flu. 🤦🏻♀️ What difference does it make now? We are riddled with it. Will just make the next variant arrive here quicker.

International arrivals can soon show a negative rapid antigen test to enter AustraliaAustralia will from Sunday allow international travellers entering the country to present a negative rapid antigen test (RAT) within 24 hours of their flight's departure. Any news on the deployment of thousands of Russian military units for supposed “war games”? I’m more interested in the start of WW3 and what we are doing about trying to avoid this than this. Given that there are no RAT to be found because of ScottMorrisonMP incompetence. The international borders are still effectively closed unless the international travellers bring their own test kits. Maybe they could bring a few extra thus doing Morrison job 🤔 Need to do it at the airport in a secluded room in front of airline staff. People are already selling negative rats online
