People in NSW who visited Brisbane ordered into lockdown after latest COVID outbreak
Anyone in NSW who has been in Greater Brisbane during the last nine days must go into lockdown, NSW Health has ordered.
Key points:
- Ms Berejiklian said the border with Queensland would remain open, but discouraged travel there
- The Byron Beach Hotel and The Farm were both visited by two confirmed COVID-19 cases
- NSW recorded no local cases yesterday
That means they must stay home for three days, except for essential reasons like gathering food and supplies, exercise, work and medical care.
The order applies to anyone who has visited Greater Brisbane since March 20, but excludes people who have transited through Brisbane Airport.
