2019 Novel Coronavirus (nCov)

On 30 January 2020, following a meeting of the WHO International Health Regulations (IHR) Emergency Committee, the Director-General declared that the outbreak of 2019-nCoV constitutes a Public Health Emergency of International Concern and issued advice as Temporary Recommendations under the IHR (2005).

On 1 February, the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade raised the overall travel advice for mainland China to ‘Level 4 – Do Not Travel’ . Please subscribe or follow the Travel Advice bulletins on the Smartraveller website for the latest information.

The Australian Department of Home Affairs has also introduced travel restrictions on travellers coming from or transiting through areas with reported cases.  Please ensure you familiarise yourself with these if you are planning a trip to Australia:
