00:00We will impose a universal precautionary self-isolation requirement on all international arrivals to Australia, and that is effective from
00:09midnight to night.
00:11Further, the Australian Government will also ban cruise ships from foreign ports from arriving at Australian ports for initial 30
00:18days, and that will go forward on a rolling basis.
00:22The National Cabinet also endorsed the advice of the AHPPC today to further introduce social distancing measures.
00:29All people coming to Australia will be required, I stress, to self-isolate for 14 days.
00:41This is very important.
00:43What we've seen in recent weeks is more countries having issues with the virus, and that means that the source
00:52of some of those transmissions are coming from more and more countries.
00:55Our bans have been very effective to date, and what this measure will do is ensure that particularly Australians, who
01:03are the majority of people coming to Australia now on these flights, when they come back to Australia, their self
01:09-isolation for 14 days will do an effective job in flattening this curve.
