- An Australian crew member lives in a country where a week ago we had virtually eliminated COVID. They have almost no possible way to catch it when not at work. They then fly off to a hotel room overseas and interact with a only a handful of people whilst always wearing a mask. They now fly home to quarantine at home.
Clearly the ‘risk profile’ is very different between the two.
On top of which, crew from certain other countries may not be particularly keen to abide by Australian requirements.
