- Description
- Australia’s response to the Covid-19 pandemic has been one of sup-pression and imposition of highly regulated restrictions on international mobility through tough international border restrictions. Australia has had considerable advantages in terms of geographic isolation and popula-tion density as an island nation, with quarantining the key strategy for containing the virus coming in from overseas. While the rest of the world had to alter their lifestyles to avoid contagion dramatically, Australia’s strict border control meant that life went on relatively normally. As a BBC report states in June 2021:For the past year, Australia has been coasting along almost blissfully detached from the global pandemic. It had achieved a “Covid normal” where people could visit restaurants and nightclubs and join crowds at festivals and theatres. (Mao, 2021).
