A state of emergency has been declared in Victoria to deal with the spread of coronavirus and enforce the national 14-day isolation sanction for all travellers into Australia.

Any person returning from overseas will have to self-isolate at home or at a hotel accommodation and will risk fines of up to $20,000 if they breach the order.
