The parents of Australians have been separated from their families under the government’s travel ban from China because they do not qualify as “immediate family”.
On Saturday, the government announced new travel restrictions on people who had visited China, barring all those except Australian citizens, permanent residents and certain family members from entering the country, in order to limit the spread of the new coronavirus.
