2. NSW finalizes to bring back 500 international students in early December
ABC reported that NSW will implement a pilot program to bring back 500 international students in December (2 planes, one with 250 students). The first to be brought back will be phd students, who are about to complete the course, as well as students studying medical and health related majors.
However, for the time being, this pilot program is only applicable to vaccines that have been vaccinated by the Australian drug regulatory agency TGA in full doses, that is, Pfizer, Modena, Johnson & Johnson or Oxford vaccines. Since the Sinopharm and Coxing vaccines vaccinated in mainland China have not been approved by the TGA (they should have never submitted relevant applications), this means that Chinese students will not be included in this earliest pilot program. It is expected that the main students will be students from India, Hong Kong, Thailand, Malaysia and other places.
The pilot plan adopted the form of chartered flights, and all returning international students were required to be quarantined for 14 days in the quarantine student apartment specially arranged by the government. The student pays the airfare by himself, and the school will bear the cost of isolation. The number of pilots will not be counted in the Cap for the number of international arrivals in NSW.
