Previously they went to a hotel of their choice where they were supposed to isolate but it has always been viewed as a weakness in our quarantine system and has been tightened up after a Brazilian Aircrew was fined for being at a night club.

Mind you I wish these bastards would bugger off home:
Riot police were called to Bronte Beach late on Friday after around 100 people gathered for a Christmas party, breaching current public health orders.
The crowd was believed to be mostly British and Irish nationals.

Re: British Coronavirus
The new UK variant was first identified in the English county of Kent on September 20.The UK's health secretary announced the existence of the variant on December 14.
Australian health authorities have since confirmed four cases of the UK strain have been found in the country as of December 22.
Two were found in New South Wales and two in Victoria.
All cases have been found in recent arrivals in quarantine. There have been no confirmed instances of community transmission.
NSW Health has announced the Avalon cluster is of United States origin and not associated with the UK strain.
Australia is not planning on banning flights from the UK, as Australia's 14-day hotel quarantine is much stricter than many other countries closing borders to the country.

Re: British Coronavirus
A cleaner who tested positive to coronavirus after working in a quarantine hotel in Brisbane has been confirmed as having the more contagious UK strain of the virus, the Queensland Government says.The confirmation comes as aged care facilities have been placed in lockdown across Greater Brisbane, including Metro North, Metro South and West Moreton Hospital and Health Services.
Visits to hospitals and disability accommodation have also been banned.
The woman, aged in her 20s, is the first locally acquired case to be contracted from hotel quarantine in Queensland.
Her positive case has brought the state's streak of 113 days without community transmission to an end.
