An all-of-Government COVID-19 response team spokeswoman confirmed there would be a "dedicated" managed site for those returning under the Australian Immigration Act arrangement. "This facility is set to begin operating this week and will remain in use for as long as necessary to safely manage those coming back as they complete their 14-days in managed isolation," the response team spokeswoman said.
