If you want to get home to Australia, there are weekly flights via Auckland. Follow the Australian High Commission on social media for updates on possible flights leaving Fiji (see Local contacts). If you're travelling to Fiji and you hold a work or residency permit, you’ll need to seek approval to re-enter (see Travel). You'll also need to provide the results of a COVID (PCR) test taken within 72 hours before you depart for Fiji, and quarantine for 14 days at your own cost. We advise: Do not travel to Fiji.

COVID-19 remains a risk in Hong Kong. Practice social distancing and wear a face mask in public spaces and on public transport. Follow the advice of local authorities and monitor media for the latest (see 'Travel'). The new national security legislation for Hong Kong could be interpreted broadly. Under the law, you could be deported or face possible transfer to mainland China for prosecution under mainland law. The full extent of the law and how it will be applied is not yet clear. You may be at increased risk of detention on vaguely defined national security grounds. You could break the law without intending to. If you’re concerned about the new law, reconsider your need to remain in Hong Kong. We advise: Do not travel to Hong Kong.  

Due to ongoing military action in the Nagorno-Karabakh region, the Azerbaijani authorities have introduced Martial Law from 28 September until further notice.

You could be fined if you don't comply. Restrictions in place due to COVID-19 may change at short notice. Follow the local media and advice of local authorities for the latest updates.
