BREAKING: Queensland’s target of reopening to NSW on November 1 has been plunged into serious doubt after a flare up of new coronavirus cases.
on Wednesday that while the “tough” border closure with NSW had been “hard on businesses”, she would not be altering her state’s 28 day target.
Ms Palaszczuk released her state’s recovery plan last Friday morning, outlining further restrictions to be eased in three phases. Stage 5, however, was tipped to commence at 1am on November 1 with opening of the NSW border — allowing visitors and returned travellers to enter the state without having to complete mandatory quarantine — on the proviso of no community transmission cases in NSW for the preceding 28 days. That border plan has now been put in limbo.
