10 more days in New State after returning overseas
Meanwhile, states government disagree on how to manage thousands of people who returned from overseas to be quarantined at hotels and refused to accept virus tests.
A national cabinet meeting yesterday agreed to take tougher measures to stop thousands of people returning from overseas trips who refused to test, possibly bringing virus into the community.
To this end, the new state authorities said today, if returned from overseas travel into the new state refused to accept the test virus, will be isolated in the hotel longer. For those arriving from overseas in Sydney who refuse COVID-19virus testing on the 10th day of the 14-day isolation period at the hotel, an additional 10 days will be required.
In the state, only 2% of those returning from overseas travel refused to be tested during hotel isolation. But in Virginia, up to 30 percent, or as many as 5400 people, refused to accept virus tests.
However, Dr. Vandimen today expressed concern, but said that so far, the latest confirmed cases, has not found any cases of community infection, with these refused to test, after the end of the hotel isolation period returned to the community of overseas travelers.
Virginia government has so far failed to impose mandatory testing on those returning from overseas trips, requiring them to be released after 14 days of hotel isolation. Today, however, it confirmed that it was listening to law advisers and wished to know whether it could force returnees abroad to undergo virus testing.
