Queensland border restrictions set to be eased with ACT as no new cases recorded overnight
Queensland will reopen its border to Canberrans, who will be able to fly into the Sunshine State from next Friday, Health Minister Steven Miles says.
"This is great news for the ACT and is recognition for the fact that they have been sometime without any cases," he said. "Now is the time we would urge them [Canberrans] to start thinking about coming up to Queensland for a holiday." "Obviously we would hope to continue to see no new cases or only new cases in quarantine, up to that 14-day period, at which time we can consider lifting restrictions," he said.
