Despite Australia’s loosened entry requirements for international arrivals, Syed said he and his friends were forced to undergo quarantine for Covid-19.“I didn’t have Covid but every day they checked me with the test,” he said. “I spoke once with a case manager but nobody has come [since]. I don’t know what’s going on,” he said. “It’s been more than 20 days.”
