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:

- The Byron Beach Hotel and The Farm were both visited by two confirmed COVID-19 cases
