NSW Police tighten Vic border regulations | Sky News AustraliaNew South Wales Police has tightened rules and regulations for Victorians travelling across the border after officers were repeatedly sent to check on travellers believed to be in self isolation before they even left the state. \n\nPolice were required to carry out checks on people travelling across the NSW - Victoria border to ensure they were complying with a mandatory 14 day self-isolation period.\n\nThe expiry date for exemptions granted to Victorians was shortened from 14 days to three days as police officers carried out isolation checks from the date permits were issued rather than from the date interstate travellers entered NSW. \n\nMeanwhile, a report on Friday morning revealed businesses instructed to deep clean their facilities after being linked to a coronavirus infection were not inspected by health officials before reopening. \n\nThe revelation drew criticism from NSW Labor which called for extra safety measures to be rolled out. \n\nImage: News Corp Australia
