Australia to start Iran travel ban on Sunday

The Morrison government will put a travel ban on people coming from Iran due to its "high death rate" as it tries to stem the flow of coronavirus into Australia.

As with the existing travel restrictions to mainland China, Australian citizens, residents and their dependents will still be able to come back to Australia from Iran, but they must self-isolate for 14 days.Mr Hunt said there was likely to be a high level of undetected cases in Iran that may not be picked up on departure, noting the "high death rate" in the country.On Saturday, there were 388 coronavirus confirmed cases in Iran, with 34 confirmed deaths.

Queensland chief health officer Jeannette Young said the risk the Gold Coast woman had infected anyone else was "incredibly low" because the woman had taken swift action after identifying "minimal symptoms".

I agree with this at least Australia prime Minister Scott Morrison gets it. In Canada, a bunch of people who travelled to Iran tested positive for coronavirus yet our woke Prime Minister Trudeau not putting in a travel ban.

Travel ban on USA, Korea, Japan and Italy right now!!! ScottMorrisonMP coronavirus

The only way to keep the virus out of Aus. is to ban all incoming human traffic or quarantine all incoming human traffic. While ever plane and boat loads of people arrive we are open to a pandemic.

Hmm . You say: 'Breaking: The Morrison government will put a travel ban on people coming from Iran due to its 'high death rate' as it tries to stem the flow of coronavirus into Australia' PS. I would have closed the border to every nation already.

Justloo85230955 GOOD !

Meanwhile, the government remains silent about South Korea & Italy 🤷🏻‍♀️ I'm sure this will work fabulously.

Add Italy and South Korea too!

The problem is worse in South Korea!!!!! Morrison got directions from US..🇺🇸😋

What about S.Korea? There are way more traffic between Oz and S.Korea than Iran. Do our Health practitioners have protocols to test flu like patients from S.korea for COVID-19?

How about complete travel ban world wide unless your willing to go through 1 month of isolation/quarantine to reconnect families & loved ones.

Good clean the house, I’m coming in Dec

Misure e aiuti insufficienti.

Keep them out. They are dangerous to the Lebanese Sunni Muslim community that adds so much to Australia!

How about Japan, South Korea and Italy?

but we can’t ban travellers from ‘protected minorities’ countries...especially islamic ones....and risk cries of ‘racism’ and ‘islamophobia’ from anxious SJW’s

Too late now ScottyFucksUpAgain It should have already been extended to Korea Italy Japan

DFAT Smart Traveller travel advice for Iran was increased today to Do Not Travel. By law, Australian travel companies cannot operate tours to Iran when it's at that level

Yea he’s good at shutting down things. Not so good at creating better things.

Don’t they anyway?

Daviskanne Natural events due to the incompetence of officials turn to a disaster &catastrophe in Iran. BBC News reports the Coronavirus death toll in Iran exceeds 221. The Iranian people have suffered more from the mullahs' religious dictatorship than the coronavirus.

clairlemon A lot of people saying why not korea/Italy etc? Its becoming an equality issue. Yet that ignores 2 kinda key things 1 - Iran has the highest death toll outside China 2 - it's acted farcically with several highup figures infected because masks and quarantine isn't respected.

This corona virus plague, could be biblical ... read revelations 6:8 The pale horse whos riders name is death.

Korea, Japan and Italy as well

Korea Italy Japan USA

Good

But late for people on the Gold Coast ScottyFucksUpAgain

Every life is sacred, but is it really that bad? Seems COVID-19's mortality rate is not much different to all the other Coronaviruses (SARS, H5N1 bird flu, MERS, etc):

What about Europe

The Morrison government should never allowed any Chinese back into Australia. When winter comes people will be falling over like 9 Pins. The two weak incubation and other measures have proven useless.

Italy?

What about all of Asia ?

Always late in making decisions. Could have decided early last week

I was waiting for the race baiting to come out , it didn't take long.

Just close the borders.

He has no guts to ban Japan South Korea ,

Australian borders need to close as our epidemic is about to begin. We need time to cope with an overwhelming flow of patients over the coming months.

Its a bit late, that horse has bolted with a Goldcoast beautician who came back from Iran, may have contaminated 40 people who visited salon.

And Italy. Germany. France. Switzerland. And 53 other countries. Ban them all! Then ban the Gold Coast and anybody North of the Tweed. Then live in a cave eating grubs. The virus or out. Try and play for time. That’s the only hope left for the 2% that will die

What risible lies you tell for the geofascists

Why not South Korea and Italy? South Korea is the worst outside China. R u still waiting for American Daddy's instruction yet?

Well his reasoning would be they can't bring people from Iran, as they would bring two negatives, terrorism and the corona virus! Where as Japan, Korea and Italy you only got to deal with one negative! 😉

The high death rate is because of our brutal medical sanctions, how disgusting this coward nation is.

What abt S.Korea, Japan or Italy?

California must be next ...no matter Trump’s rubbery figures

How are Japan, South Korea and Italy not on the list?

Tips his hat to the racist constituency

Also for Italy, Japan and Korea

clairlemon About time

Korea?

Great now add Italy SouthKorea ScottMorrisonMP

Should we stop people from Italy as well?

clairlemon Good. We need to control the borders while we ramp up our preparations and educate the nation.

Italy?

Wise move.

Such strong leadership.

And so he should!!!!!!!

Chinese eateries in Australia in crisis as virus spooks customersSome 8000 kilometres from Hubei province – where this coronavirus outbreak began – once-thriving Asian food districts in Sydney and Melbourne have been turned into “ghost towns”. You must be talking high-end places b/c when i ate lunch at Little Bourke St a week or so ago it was packed with workers and Asian students. And yet my local fisho is charging $25.99 for B grade muddies. Means they may have a claw missing. These are usually half price of the A grade. And people tell Australians are not racist 🙄
