As Australia anajitahidi kuwa na faili ya Covid-19 kuzuka katika jiji lake la pili lenye watu wengi, Waziri Mkuu wa nchi hiyo Scott Morrison ametangaza leo kuwa serikali itapunguza idadi ya kila wiki ya raia wa Australia na wakaazi wa kudumu wanaoruhusiwa kurudi nyumbani kutoka nje kwa asilimia 50.
Kesi nyingi nchini zimehusisha wasafiri waliorejea. Jimbo la Victoria liliripoti visa vipya 288 Ijumaa, rekodi inayoongezeka kila siku kwa sehemu yoyote ya nchi tangu janga hilo lianze.
Tangu Machi, Australia imeruhusu raia tu na wakaazi wa kudumu kuingia nchini. Mara tu wanapofika, huanza karantini ya lazima ya siku 14 katika hoteli, ambayo hulipwa na serikali za majimbo.
Morrison alisema kuwa kutoka Jumatatu, Australia itachukua takwimu kwa watu 4,000 kila wiki, karibu nusu ya idadi ambayo imekuwa ikirudi. Wale wanaorudi pia watalazimika kulipia makaazi yao ya karantini.
Jirani New Zealand ilianzisha hatua mapema wiki hii kupunguza idadi ya raia wanaorudi nyumbani ili kupunguza mzigo kwa vifaa vyake vya kufurika.
