Queensland close the border to NSW
From 1am tomorrow morning Queensland will slam shut the border to New South Wales.
Acting Premier Steven Miles made the announcement alongside the news there were no new cases of COVID 19 recorded in Queensland overnight, although mask wearing will still be mandatory for seven days.
“In order to be able to ease these restrictions, we need to close the border to the rest of New South Wales,” Mr Miles said.
“That will mirror the arrangements currently in place in Victoria, South Australia, Western Australia, and Tasmania.”
A bubble, to include as far south as the Clarence Valley, will be established to allow NSW residents who live near the border to enter Queensland for essential services, such as work, education, medical visits and caring for vulnerable people.
Mr Miles confirmed the bubble does not include Coffs Harbour.
Key check points will be installed at different locations.
