China travellers to be banned from Australia, as Aussies told not to visit country

Foreign travellers who have left or passed through mainland China will be denied entry to Australia as officials try to contain the spread of coronavirus.

They will not be allowed enter Australia for 14 days from the time they depart or transited through the Asian superpower.

The measure comes as South Australia confirms two new coronavirus cases there - a Chinese couple in their 60s - bringing the national total to 12.
