Victorians will be banned from entering New South Wales from 11.59pm Tuesday night as Australia's leaders desperately try to contain the latest outbreak which continues to surge. Premier Daniel Andrews said the decision to close borders between Australia’s largest states came after a phone call between himself, the Prime Minister and NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian.
“Just an hour or so ago, where we have - all of us - agreed that the best thing to do is to close the border,” he said. “That closure will be enforced on the New South Wales side, so as not to be a drain on resources that are very much focused on fighting the virus right now across our State. “I am grateful to the Premier of New South Wales for her support in giving effect to that.
