Its not “500 a day”. If you looked at the schedule you’ll find the flights only run once or twice a week.
As for leaving the country.
- if you have residency in another country (visa) they’ll let you go.
- if you can prove you have a family emergency etc they’ll let you go
- business people are ok of course....
HOWEVER the “family emergency” example (and others) they also expect you to sign a declaration saying you won’t return for at least 3 months.
But the massive issue with all of this is, they let citizens leave knowing that there ARE NOT enough quarantine spaces for them to return. Let alone the other Aussies already waiting to get back.
