BRISBANE (LifeSiteNews) — A new COVID quarantine camp for unvaccinated travelers has opened in Australia and is set to welcome up to 1,000 “guests” by April.
The controversial quarantine facility, called “Queensland Regional Accommodation Centre” or “Wellcamp,” is located just outside the city of Toowoomba, about an hour’s drive from Brisbane, the capital of the state of Queensland.
The facility is already hosting 500 beds, and another 500 are expected to be ready by early April.
The first small group of unvaccinated international travelers, numbering fewer than 10, was taken by bus from a quarantine hotel in Brisbane to the camp on Saturday after flying in from New Zealand, according to ABC News Australia.
Visitors at the camp will be required to pay for their own two-week stay, as 9News Australia reported in a Tweet.

Visitors will be required to pay their own way for their two-week stay, the same price as hotel quarantine.
The facility is due to scale up to a thousand beds in April. #9News
