BREAKING: It’s not Queensland, but Sydneysiders looking for an interstate getaway without having to quarantine will have more option from next month.
Addressing media in Darwin, Mr Gunner said the lowering number in Victoria were “encouraging”, but the state still has a long way to go before being allowed into the Northern Territory.
“This morning, Dr Heggie advised he’s now satisfied with the progress that’s been made in Sydney to recommend a change to their hot spot status.”Mr Gunner said the “sustained downward trend” of new cases in Sydney over time, including seven straight days of 10 or fewer new cases paired with a “superb” contact tracing system lead to his decision.
“From Friday, October 9, arrivals from Greater Sydney will not need to undertake 14 days of supervised quarantine.”
