Queensland s new rules will require anyone coming from Greater Sydney or the Central Coast to be tested on arrival and to self-isolate until they receive a negative result. This is about making sure we keep all Queenslanders safe while people travel around all the Christmas holidays, Queensland s Health Minister Yvette D Ath said.
The Tasmanian government declared Greater Sydney a medium-risk area on Saturday, meaning that from midnight any arrivals from Sydney are to go into quarantine either in a suitable residence or hotel. Travellers from the northern beaches are barred from the state. I understand the consequences of this decision at this time of year, Tasmanian Premier Peter Gutwein said.
