SYDNEY, April 27 (Xinhua) -- Acting Premier of Australian state of Victoria James Merlino proposed a scheme on Tuesday that would allow overseas students to enter the state next month.
Under a separate hotel quarantine scheme, the proposal would allow 120 overseas arrivals to enter Victoria each week from May 24, which has been proposed to the federal government and waiting to be approved.
They would not be included in the state's existing cap for 1,000 returned qualified travellers and would be housed in a dedicated quarantine hotel.
But the new arrivals would pay a fee of more than 3,000 Australian dollar (2,334.9 U.S. dollars) fortnightly charged to one adult.
