Re: Coronavirus: Dozens of countries will be exempt from UK quarantine
The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade has warned that international flights to Sydney over the coming weeks will be subject to a cap on arrivals and flights could be cancelled.
It follows a ban announced earlier this week on international flights coming into Melbourne to ease hotel quarantine demands in Victoria.
Now at the request of the NSW Government, new Federal Government limits will be introduced from midnight Saturday night.
NSW Health said overseas arrivals will be capped at 450 passengers a day, with a maximum of 50 passengers allowed per incoming flight. This is to control the numbers of returning residents who will now have to pay for their hotel quarantine as they arrive.
Foreign nationals are still barred from entering Australia
