Australia became the latest country to demand travellers from China provide a negative Covid-19 test before arrival, citing a"lack of comprehensive information" from Beijing about the country's wave of cases.
While more than 97% of Australian adults have had at least one Covid-19 vaccine dose, there is concern in Australia that Chinese authorities are not adequately sharing details about case numbers, or which variants are circulating. It was the Chinese president's second time commenting on the outbreak this week. On Monday, he called for measures to"effectively protect people's lives".
Canada said that it was joining the list of countries requiring negative tests, citing"the limited epidemiological and viral genomic sequence data available" on recent Covid cases in China.
