The Australian Government’s Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade has issued a warning to Aussie’s abroad.
It is advising Australian travellers return home before the decision is made to close our border due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

‘As more countries close their borders or introduce travel restrictions, overseas travel is becoming more complex and difficult,’ DFAT advise.
‘You may not be able to return to Australia when you had planned to.
‘Consider whether you have access to health care and support systems if you get sick while overseas. If you decide to return to Australia, do so as soon as possible.’
The advice comes hours after Qantas and Jetstar slashed 90 percent of their international capacity.
‘Many countries are introducing entry or movement restrictions,’ DFAT added.
‘These are changing often and quickly. Your travel plans may be disrupted. You may be placed in quarantine or denied entry to some countries.’
