I think he will have to find a bolt hole and ride this out. The writing was already in the wall when he left London to travel to Morocco for a short visit. Sadly his decision was rather foolish. Good luck and stay well.

Not quite as portrayed as in Casablanca

People choose to travel to exotic locations yet fail to have a risk contingency plan if all goes pear shaped, then expect the Government to rescue them without having to pay for the rescue. Assumption, ignorance, poor planning and crisis on their part are not a government crisis

Travels from London to Morocco on a short trip at this time of crisis worldwide? His an idiot, no sympathy

Stupid and selfish enough to travel at this time for a “short trip “ , too bloody bad .

Lol idiot shouldn't have travelled during a pandemic

Is he Australian or Moroccan? The only true real aussies are the aboriginals. We all came from somewhere else.

All travellers forced to self-isolate under tough new coronavirus restrictions | Sky News AustraliaPrime Minister Scott Morrison says all travellers arriving in Australia from this evening will be forced into a 14-day period of self-isolation to stop the spread of coronavirus. \n\nDelivering an update after the first meeting of the coronavirus National Cabinet, the prime minister said the measures would be adopted following an increase in community transmission of COVID-19. \n\nIn addition, all international cruise ships will no longer be allowed to dock at Australian ports. \n\n“This is very important, what we've seen in recent weeks, is more countries having issues with the virus and that means the source of some of those transmissions are coming from more and more countries,” Mr Morrison said. \n\nAuthorities have confirmed there are now 250 cases of coronavirus across Australia.\n\nThe prime minister said at this stage schools across the country will remain open.\n\nThe prime minister said Australians were “common sense people” and urged them to undertake social distancing measures to prevent the spread of the virus.\n\n“In recent weeks and months, we've seen some examples, not of that behaviour and that's regrettable but for the vast majority of Australians, they are commonsense people and we have to rely on their judgement as well. Great decision!.. good leadership!!.. Americans should be banned immediately. Healthcare service access is one of the worst in the world. Heading to epidemic. Be tougher!!!!!
