China travel ban ‘likely prevented 400 coronavirus deaths’
But modelling of coronavirus cases also suggests that allowing students in later would have been low risk

The study results show the swift ban on travel had been “very effective” in protecting Australians from COVID-19, say the authors from the Kirby Institute at UNSW Sydney.
