Man stranded at Spirit of Tasmania terminal after Melbourne’s COVID lockdown sank ferry plan
A Tasmanian man has been stranded at the Spirit of Tasmania ferry terminal in Melbourne because his COVID travel documentation was not approved in time for this morning’s sailing, while almost 290 other passengers have been forced to cancel their travel plans at the last minute.
Key points:
- Many Tasmanians were stranded in Victoria after being unable to board the Spirit
- New border restrictions came into force at midnight on Friday
- Twelve people caught a last-minute charter flight into the state
Tasmania declared the entire state of Victoria as high-risk as of midnight on Friday in the wake of the Holiday Inn COVID outbreak, meaning those travelling to Tasmania from Victoria are now required to get a G2G (Good to Go) pass to enter.
