Queensland to open border to all of NSW next month as coronavirus threat eases
Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk has revealed the state will re-open its border to all of NSW on Monday, February 1.
It means Greater Sydney will no longer be declared a hotspot.
“Credit to New South Wales. They got on top of their cases,” Ms Palaszczuk said.
“Our Chief Health Officer was delighted last night when she briefed me and I think it’s great news.
“So the border checkpoints will be coming down.
“It has been a really, really long haul, and it has been tough on everybody, but I’ve always maintained, I have to keep Queenslanders safe.”
More to come.
