Australia's prime minister, morrison, made it clear at the journalist meeting today that people who enter australia overseas could soon be allowed to be isolated at home rather than forced to stay in a hotel.
Since the end of March, people entering Australia have been asked to accept two weeks of hotel isolation at the port of entry before being allowed home.
Mr. Morrison said today that the government health advisory body, the Australian Main Committee on Health Protection (AHPPC), was considering whether people from "safe" countries could be quarantined at home.

"I think family family segregation will play a major role in the future ," he said ." That's what AHPPC are thinking, especially when we go through the current phase. "
"We do hope... Our borders are open at some point to secure locations, whether in New Zealand, parts of the Pacific, South Korea or Japan, or in countries with better control of the new crown epidemic, then we have the opportunity to alternative approaches. "
Morrison mentioned countries like Denmark. Denmark has a list of permitted countries, including Australia, which specifies who is free to enter.
Australian government are discussing a tourism bubble circle with New Zealand, allowing people from both countries to enter without any form of isolation.
New Zealand Prime Minister Yasinda Alderne said yesterday that it is likely to reach the travel bubble circle agreement before Christmas.

As borders open to more countries, the risk of coronary virus disease will be classified in more detail, Morrison said.
"Over time, we will need a more flexible approach that gives us more options to manage this issue ," he said.
"At that time, it will obviously depend on health advice... But I hope this is what we can do. "
'We can recall that most people were isolated at home in the early days of the outbreak, which was largely successful ,' Mr. Morrison said. "If we look back on February and March this year, we'll see that this is actually working ," he said. "especially in the Australian Chinese community, many Australians returned from China mainland or even Wuhan early in the epidemic, but because of their strict family isolation, this has proved crucial to Australia's success in responding to the first wave.
