1. If anyone shows symptoms of an infectious disease while travelling to Australia the aircraft Captain or ship’s Master must report this to a Biosecurity Officer from the Department of Agriculture and Water Resources, before arrival in Australia. #RubyPrincess #auspol
2. Biosecurity Officers meet very ill travellers on incoming ships to determine if they are carrying a serious infectious disease. This allows people to be referred for immediate medical attention if they are carrying a particularly serious disease #RubyPrincess #auspol
3. So it's actually the Department of Agriculture and Water Resources who was responsible for the #RubyPrincess & other cruise ships, NOT state health? #auspol Who is that now? Littleproud?
