Abstract
Spacious accommodation in plush hotels offering city views are spaces of 14-day mandatory quarantine for those entering Australia during the pandemic. When international borders closed to tourists under the Biosecurity Act, 2015 in March 2020 (Australian Government, 2020), vacant hotels emerged as temporary quarantine accommodation for returning Australian citizens and permanent residents. Rather than tourists, mobile bodies that arrived by air began to be framed as vectors for the highly contagious SARS-CoV-2 virus in the media and by the Australian government, shaping the perception of the broader population (Iaquinto, 2020; Lobo, 2020).
