Share ko lang ang BM ko last week.
Adelaide Airport, wala masyado tao. Mabilis lang din ang queue, then they advised me to do self-isolation. Tatanungin din nila kung galing ka sa China, South Korea or Italy the past few days, 'yun mga nag-"Yes" meron sila separate lane after immigration. Di ko sure kung ano gagawin nila. Maliit lang din ang airport, pagkuha mo ng luggage sa belt bag, diretso ka na sa custom, hihingin lang yun card, tapos either diretso palalabasin ka na or titignan pa luggage mo, in my case pinalabas na ako kaagad.
Paglabas ko ng airport, meron malapit na convenience store, tabi lang actually. doon ako bumili ng sim card (optus) worth 20$ with 45GB na ata yun good for 28 days. Walking distance lang din ang bus station from the airport, maybe 3 minutes then from airport to CBD nasa 25 minutes lang, yun hotel na tinutuluyan ko sa CBD mismo eh.
I am on my 12th day of self-isolation dito sa hotel, SA Health and SA Police do the random inspection sa mga hotel, they will call the hotel kung doon ka talaga nag-stay.

first impression ko sa Adelaide. wala traffic at konti lang ang tao sa CBD. medyo chill ang vibe or laidback niya compared sa Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane at Gold Coast. maaga rin nagsasara ang mga establishments, and generally, friendly mga tao.

Mukang chambahan kung saan kang hotel mailalagay. Napanood ko kagabi sa news may nag rereklamo dahil sa Ibis siya while yung iba daw sa mas maganda hotel.
Pero ganun talaga eh, need sumunod, much better na mag spend ng 14 days sa hotel kesa sa ICU.

Yes. This news is confirmed. They have an app. Covid Australia. You can check it.
Will you be coming from Manila? We also plan to do our BM this Apr. All flights from PAL are cancelled until end of ecq.
Question, if IED namin is this April, meron ba sinabi pano yung treatment? If in case lang ma extend yung ecq? Tried emailing yung mga email addresses binigay on this group. Pero hindi nag rreply kasi.
Thank you!

@adrbleaisa , yes from Manila.. Apr20 new flight namin, Cebpac..
We haven't tried requesting to extend our IED pa rin which is May. But we're thinking to request to extend it in case not tuloy flight this Apr.
I can't see yung app sa playstore.. maybe because wala pa naman kami sa AU 😊

Hello sa lahat! Sa mga mag BM sana this March na nacancel, meron na ba kayo nakitang bagong flight going to AU? Specifically sana sa Perth. Meron kami supposedly flight sa Perth kahapon (thru PAL) pero na cancel na nga daw lahat ng operations nila until April 12. Need ko sana makarating ng Perth asap. May trabaho ako nakuha at di sure kung hangang kelan nila ako mahihintay. Sa mga nangyayari, mukhang mag i-impose ng mas matinding travel restrictions ang AU. Baka meron kayo alam na alternate transit routes from Manila to Perth, na open pa borders. Salamat sa mga sasagot!
