Australia's Prime Minister announced on August 7 that border restrictions and quarantine arrangements “will remain in place now for some months.”This means:
- Temporary visa holders need to be granted an exemption to enter Australia on compassionate or critical skills grounds.
- Australian citizens and permanent residents need to be granted an exemption to leave Australia.
- International arrival numbers remain capped.
- All international arrivals must stay in designated mandatory quarantine for 14 days.
