Initial response to isolated infections requires a different response to that you give an entrenched pandemic. When it always comes back from multiple countries and is initially undetectable complete shutdown trace and contain simply won’t work.

Australia imposed a 14 day mandatory quarantine for all visitors where non-compliance is criminal.

Not sure why every country couldn't do the same to isolate incoming infections.

How long for and does this include workers too or just tourists?

This isn’t really tenable if you want a functioning economy, and cases will slip through.

It's indefinite and it applies to everyone.

And it seems a pretty common sense preventative measure since a 14 day quarantine isn't too onerous.

It’s a sensible measure to delay the spread, I don’t believe it will be effective in stopping the spread and it will be very damaging to the economy so not sustainable IMO.

That'd be racist or white supremacy, or something. Australia doesn't care about this.
