NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian said she's had some good news about the three locally acquired cases of COVID-19 as the Queensland border reopening remains at risk | marywardy rachelclun
"The Victorian government has imposed certain restrictions on their own citizens in regional Victoria and it would be a bit inconsistent if we went further than what their own government did in terms of what they're allowed to do," the Premier told ABCMs Berejiklian claimed NSW health officials did not have clarity around how many cases were occurring in regional Victoria.
Victoria has recorded 11 new cases in the latest 24-hour reporting period, including four new cases in regional Victoria which all had known sources. The locally acquired cases in NSW - two in Sydney's south west, and one in western Sydney - remain under investigation. As of Wednesday night they had not been linked to each other, and there were no links between the new cases and existing clusters.
But Ms Berejiklian says NSW Health has made some progress regarding the three mystery cases which threaten to reset Queensland's border clock. "But I also do anticipate the number of community cases will go up today simply because, when you identify new individuals with the virus, often their families or the people living in their household hadn't had enough time or notice to take action and often you will find they will get it as well," she said on
