MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA - APRIL 08: A general view of activity as Hotel Quarantine workers are seen outside the Intercontinental Hotel on April 08, 2021 in Melbourne, Australia. International passenger flights resume flying into Melbourne from Thursday, with Victoria introducing new hotel quarantine measures. International flights were banned in mid-February after Victoria went into a snap five-day lockdown following a COVID-19 outbreak linked to the Holiday Inn Melbourne Airport hotel, which saw the more virulent UK strain of the virus leak from the quarantine system and into the community. International arrivals will be capped at 800 in the first week, with the cap extending to 100 as more hotels become operational. (Photo by Asanka Ratnayake/Getty Images)
