Australia's National Cabinet met today and decided on a
plan to manage the Covid-19 pandemic long-term.
This plan includes a 50% reduction incoming passengers by 14
July (some states may move faster than this) resulting in a new
total of up to 3,035 international arrivals per week. Each major
airport will take the below individual caps:
- Sydney 1,505
- Perth 265
- Adelaide 265
- Melbourne 500
- Brisbane 500 (plus 150 surge capacity)
Additional repatriation flights to return Australian citizens
will be offered by the federal government. These flights will be in
addition to the above cap numbers, with quarantine likely to take
place at Howard Springs in the Northern Territory.
