In an ever-evolving situation, a number of states have already declared that their borders are now closed to Victoria, following that state’s announcement that it has entered a (minimum) five day lockdown.
Tasmania has closed its borders to anyone from Victoria.
South Australia had already put in place border restrictions for people from Melbourne, Geelong and Bacchus Marsh, who will need to quarantine for two weeks. From midnight last night, South Australia has expanded those restrictions to include people from the whole of the state of Victoria. Border restrictions will stay in place for south-east Queensland, NSW and the ACT.
The growing clusters in Queensland have also prompted South Australia to ease the roll back of restrictions with Queensland.
Queensland has introduced extended restrictions in the state with mask and hospital visitation restrictions applicable to 11 Queensland LGAs – Brisbane City Council, Logan, Moreton Bay, Ipswich, Redlands, Sunshine Coast, Gold Coast, Noosa, Somerset, Lockyer Valley and Scenic Rim – for at least another week.
Arrivals from Victoria into Western Australia will be required to self-isolate for 14 days and get tested on arrival and again on day 11 of their isolation period.
Non-ACT residents who have been in the Greater Sydney, Central Coast, Blue Mountains, Wollongong and Shellharbour regions of NSW are not permitted to travel into the ACT unless they have an approved exemption.
