Australians face extended quarantine after Andes variant exposure
from Sunrise · host LiSTNR
Five Australians are being evacuated from a location affected by the Andes variant, with their return journey routing through the Netherlands before arriving in Perth. The Andes variant has an incubation period of up to eight weeks, significantly longer than typical infectious diseases. Upon arrival in Australia, the evacuees will undergo three weeks of quarantine in Perth, a more cautious approach compared to the 72-hour quarantine periods implemented by the US and UK.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
