Residents on the NSW-Victoria border will be able to travel across the border more freely under major changes announced by NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian today | marywardy
A new border region will be created which extends 50 kilometres either side of the NSW-Victoria border, encompassing a number of additional Victorian towns as far south as Beechworth. Currently, the border region is at 2.5 kilometres either side of the border.
The Premier said she "deeply" regretted the challenges experienced by border communities under the restrictions, adding that she knew the decision appeared to be made very quickly. "Of these, two worked at Reddam Early Learning Centre at Lindfield, one visited the Tattersalls City Gym, two are household contacts of previous cases and two are close contacts of previous cases," NSW Health's Jeremy McAnulty said.
Anyone who attended It's Time for Thai restaurant at Newtown on Friday between 5pm and 8pm is considered a close contact and must get tested immediately and self-isolate for 14 days.
