Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison said all Australians should not travel abroad amid the coronavirus pandemic, as the Australian government updated the travel advisory to level 4, which is “do not travel,” for the entire world—the first ever ban like this for the country.

“We are upgrading the travel ban on Australians to level four for the entire world. That is the first time that has ever happened in Australia’s history,” Morrison said at a news conference Wednesday morning. “The travel advice to every Australian is ‘Do not travel abroad.’ Do not go overseas. That is very clear, that instruction.”
