Hong Kong (CNN) Unvaccinated residents in parts of China will be banned from accessing public services including hospitals, schools and nursing homes, as the country targets an inoculation rate of at least 80% against Covid-19 . The notice added that "in principal" unvaccinated residents would be denied access to schools, public transport and medical facilities, among other amenities and services, starting from July 26. Students line up to receive the Covid-19 vaccine at the Inner Mongolia University of Technology on April 13 in Hohhot, Inner Mongolia. Similarly, the Australian government has mandated all aged care workers must have received at least one Covid-19 vaccine shot by mid-September. "Before mandatory Covid-19 vaccination becomes a legal requirement, there is no legal basis to enforce such restrictions," he added.
