Any non-Australian citizen or their dependents who have been in nine African countries in the past 14 days will not be able to enter Australia following the emergence of a new COVID-19 variant of concern.

... "And we'd just note that there are 20 people in quarantine in Howard Springs in the Northern Territory who've arrived from South Africa in the last week."
