Preparations begin for reopening of NSW-Vic border after 137-day COVID closure
NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian has praised the NSW-Victorian border communities for their patience on the eve of border restrictions being lifted after more than four months.
Key points:
- The NSW-VIC border will open at 12.01am on November 23, 137 days after it closed due to COVID-19
- About 5 million cars and 500,000 heavy vehicles have gone through border checkpoints in that time
- Eleven COVID-19 cases were recorded in hotel quarantine
