Yes, they are aware they can fly back, but they think flying and quarantining in a hotel with other potentially infected guests is too risky for the baby. Probably a good call given what has transpired.
My cousin applied to the gov to "reunite" with the family overseas. He is willing to take the risk that he may not be able to return in the foreseeable future. Application was rejected! He has missed the 1st bday and doesn't know when they will reunite. He lives alone and I can't imagine what his mental health would be like, but he assures me he is "ok".
Does anyone know what the genuine reason is on preventing people from leaving the country?
How many other countries are preventing people from leaving? This is one rule I can't understand.

Guys from my work crewed on company ships that needed delivering out of Australia, 3 went to Singapore and had to Quarantine on the ship for the leftover 3 days out of 14 (11 days sail to Singa) they then did a 14 day quarantine on return to Aus. The fourth was on a ship that went to Subic Bay in the Philippines, he has to do a 14 day stint in the Philippines (they don't count the time on the ship like Singapore did) and another 14 on his return, i think he has another 3 days to go before returning to Aus. I know of 2 others that did a similar delivery to Malaysia but don't know the details....
And of course there is this fellow.....
