The restrictions comes amid fears the coronavirus surge in China could unleash a new variant on the world. 9News

China's “zero COVID” policies had kept China’s infection rate low but fuelled public frustration and crushed economic growth.The restrictions comes amid fears the coronavirus surge in China could unleash a new variant on the world..

“These data are critical to monitor the case surge effectively and decrease the chance for entry of a novel variant of concern,” the CDC said. But the CDC's action may be less about stopping a new variant from crossing US borders and more about increasing pressure on China to share more information, said Dr David Dowdy, an infectious disease epidemiologist at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, adding he hopes the restrictions "aren’t kept in place longer than they need to be.”“We have a whole lot of transmission of COVID-19 here within our borders already.

Ahaahahah move on twits.

December 2019, covid was released, 2022 December a 'new' variation being released right on que.

9NewsMelb Ffs is it that hard to make the decision on this; a catastrophe lurking in the shadows!

COVID is rampant in China and out of control. The government lies to its citizens and the world of such issues. Australia need to be firm like the rest of the countries and at least do mandatory testing prior to arrival into Australia, as we are the ones that will suffer again.

What about the rest of the world ? Like Australia or our neighbors

NO CHINESE ENTRY INTO AUSTRALIA

My lord, no one cares.

I like fish and chips!

Sharing is caring. I say good. The western stooges have been at us china fir closing, now we are going to fully open and unleash.

Report about US, what’s about Australian labor government’s action plan?

This could only come from China.

AndreOacos Si en estados unidos la pusieron aquí también lo harán pronto.

If it’s all true and not more Chinese Propaganda then China should be responsible and stop all flights from leaving their country. Why should it be left up to other countries to block them & look Racist?

WeAreAllVIPs I have a hunch that 2023 will be the worst year ever for Covid and that most Govts have given up on basic Public Health protocols. Everyone will dump a lot of blame on China .We really need an international approach re vaccinations , testing and international border management.

Hi Kelly: Do you like australian life back to three years ago? Please shut down the gates!

Nothing more than the flu . Stop the bullshit scaremongering

9NewsGoldCoast Despite many critics the US leave us behind with their current approach no way we restrict inbound travel from China given our trade relationship etc they have a' virals for pretty much anyone we do not etc Mark_Butler_MP could learn a thing or two from Joes' health team

Are we supposed applaud this decision about corona because it's a deadly virus or object to restrictions being put in place by a tyrannical government ?

Not for us.

2020 - Ruby Princess 2023 - Labour party

And Australia decided not to ...... Stupid decisions..

Will we witness Nancy 'Herod' Pelosi rushing off to Chinatown to decry Biden's racism? Covid

Albo please shut our borders please

9NewsMelb Never Fear, Kelly the GateKeeper will shut the gate once it’s too late.

People of India are AGAINST giving Visa/Entry/Nationality to Citizens of Pakistan China Afghanistan Turkey Iran Nigeria, Bangladesh, Qatar, Anti Hindus, Anti India People, Jihadis, Islamic Radicals, Khalistanis, Communist as threat to National Security, Democracy,Other Religions

Screen everyone at the international border..did no one learn ? LOOK AROUND ..YOU only need to see what is happening to know , here we go again ALBO and the goons at the round table CAN NEVER ASSUME WITH A LEVEL 3 PATHOGEN.

9NewsSyd Boring topic its not as deadly as the 'experts ' said , vax didn't work like the 'experts ' said 'experts ' said pandemic of UNVAXED didn't happen, 'experts ' said vax will keep you out of hospital didn't happen ,majority of deaths an hospitalised are vaxed. Its all a CONVID

One probably already has sprung up in Australia and the USA and they are just pointing at China and relaxing their own testing and restrictions to fuel the anti China rhetoric, On this one cut the crap and start demanding testing and mitigations

9NewsMelb The US are still mandating vaccines for travellers from other countries to enter . Biden’s hasn’t a clue

In the meantime Albanese is waiting for 'health advice', while allowing millions of infected people into our country. As usual, it will be a case of too little, too late.

Dejavu and totally orchestrated.

Hahaha says the country that has dropped all mitigations, iso, & testing.

AlboMP Please introduce testing for inbound Travellers from China. We don't need another large surge of covid.

Monitor borders and work visa must be stopped from PR. Companies must pay monthly fee to government for every work they sponsored not just application fee. Cost of living is soaring and need more money.

Peking Duck Flu … Shanghai seasonal sniffles … or maybe we go for the generic China Covid ♾️

More segregation, the underlying issue here is all those vaccinated are continually getting covid and filling icu beds, the end.

Australia will do this in another 3 months once the virus explodes in Australia again

They should not be allowed into our country until they have a handle on it in China. Another way for the CCP to get rid of its responsibilities.

Is what it is! My GP told us the anti viral medicine they are giving our elderly are keeping many out of the hospitals. We have to learn to live with it!

Is it necessary for us Australians to die for a long time before attacking the CCP? Do you know that the diseased strain of the CCP is no longer omicron?

lesleyanne12 This is such an illogical statement As Christmas Covid peaks in most Western countries we should be testing ALL arrivals insisting on home isolation on all positive plus sentinel screening with PCRs to determine new variants RealOzSAGE Mark_Butler_MP DoencaProf amapresident
