The Federal Government has expanded its coronavirus travel ban to include Italy.
Bans are already in place for travellers from China, Iran and South Korea. The ban for Italy will begin at 6:00pm tonight.
Foreign nationals who have been in Italy, mainland China, Iran and South Korea will not be allowed into Australia for 14 days from the time they left those countries.
Australian citizens and permanent residents travelling from those countries will be able to enter Australia, but need to isolate themselves for a fortnight.
The decision to add Italy to the list is a reversal from last week, when Australia added extra screening for passengers from Italy but stopped short of a travel ban.
