That single case is in Brisbane, 1000 miles from where I am in Melbourne. But I know my state will soon announce that people who’ve travelled from Brisbane recently will need to quarantine themselves, or some similar measure.

We’ve been able to practically eliminate the coronavirus in Australia, and we intend to keep it that way by taking swift action when there’s a potential outbreak.
