hawkmoon1704 Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 So we are planning to return to Sydney after 2 years away and wondered if anyone else has ping ponged during Covid. Are there any restrictions on this type of traveller and what are the basic rules on return? Simple 2 week isolation? Do we organise this ourself or do we have to somewhere special? Thanks for any and all info on this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for any and all info on this. As long as you are PR or Citizen, you are allowed in. You have to isolate yourself in hotel for 2 weeks, paid by NSW government. Due to recent spike in cases in Victoria, they are not taking any international flights and i think NSW also put restrictions on number of passengers that can arrive each day.Please read the article below https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-07-04/nsw-coronavirus-cap-on-arrivals-to-ease-quarantine-pressure/12422504 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm assuming you've got an RRV (resident return visa)? If so, then you are allowed to enter, no formalities necessary. You will be taken to quarantine ini a hotel for two weeks, all arranged for you. Currently it's free in most states but the NT is already charging people, and WA is making noises about charging too, so it depends when you are planning to travel. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of exercise classes available on Zoom these days and you get free wifi. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quoll Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 We ponged back early on in the pandemic. Packed up and left in 2 days, cleaned the house, locked up and hoped it would complete on a negotiated sale. We were on day 2 on compulsory home isolation but it was a very haphazard process back then because we flew from Sydney to Canberra and there was no compulsory mask wearing back then (we did!). Our son had set us up brilliantly (he’s long been a prepper so he knew what to do) and we called our local IGA who were happy to do home delivery. I found indoor walking exercises on YouTube which I really enjoyed and also had my staples of body weight exercise. It’d be different now because of the guarded isolation in first port of arrival but the basics would remain the same. I had a lot of yarn on hand so I was happy! Keep calm and carry on! Don’t get your knickers in a knot and just go with the flow (and hope you aren’t put in a room where people above you make a load of noise!). Certainly, home isolation was a doddle. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fisher1 Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 Re: excercise online. Try Joe Wicks recordings on YouTube. Something for everyone and lots of ten minute wake-you-up stuff. Kept me going during two months in the house. If you excercise with weights you might have a problem because they seem to have gone the way of toilet paper ... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ordering in of food etc depends on the individual hotel as they have to accept the deliveries for you. Exercise? Depends how big your room is.......... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
