Chief Medical Officer Brendan Murphy said Australia was still seeing significant numbers of returned travellers with the virus developing an infection and in many cases passing it on to their families.
Professor Murphy said Australia had so far been very good at social distancing compliance, which has seen traffic and city movements across Sydney and Melbourne fall by 80 per cent. "The Treasurer and I will have more to say about that in the next few days, as we are preparing to put in place the third tranche of the measures that will be," Mr Morrison said.
The Australian Defence Force will be deployed to enforce the quarantine in hotels across the country.
