“As of midday today, I’ve now declared Campbelltown City and Liverpool City are both hot spots, which means anyone who has been in those areas in the last 14 days and comes into Queensland will need to go into mandatory hotel quarantine,” she said.
Ms Palaszczuk said the hotel is a “popular pit stop for people travelling the highway, especially truckies”. “Coronavirus is a nationwide issue that does not respect borders between local governments or states,” she said. “We are all in this together.” “Council has consistently and regularly relayed the advice of the experts to members of the community about the importance of practising good hygiene and social distancing. We will continue to do so,” he said.
