BREAKING: Victoria’s virus spike has forced neighbouring state NSW to send a stern warning to residents about travel to parts of the state heading into the school holidays.

Speaking to media on Monday, Ms Berejiklian said that while she would not be closing the NSW border with Victoria, residents should not be travelling to the southern state “unless it is absolutely essential”.

“Maybe some sort of limits around travel, but maybe not closing the border as a whole … it’s more about who’s coming across the border and what we will do about it,” Mr Barilaro told the Seven Network on Monday. Queensland Health Minister Steven Miles said the government’s intention was to reopen the borders when the next round of restrictions are eased on July 10 but Victoria’s coronavirus concerns could delay that.

Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk said she has “concerns” about Victoria.

On Sunday, Victoria recorded another day of double-digit cases. The spike in COVID-19 cases in Melbourne prompted Queensland’s Chief Health Officer Jeannette Young to include all 31 local government areas in Greater Melbourne as well as bordering areas of Murrindindi, Mitchell, Moorabool, Macedon Ranges and Greater Geelong as hot spots. The only other cases reported on Sunday were five in NSW and one in Western Australia.

The Australian Health Protection Principal Committee says outbreaks have been identified in the local government areas of Hume, Casey, Brimbank, Moreland, Cardinia and Darebin. West Australian Premier Mark McGowan has also remained cautious about reopening his state’s borders, despite federal Finance Minister Mathias Cormann calling for states to end closures.

We should all travel to the hot-spots and try and catch it. Get some herd immunity going as 99.74% survive. For most people not even as bad as cold. At least 50% of the pop can't even catch it. Nothing burger. Good decision. If you travel to victoriastan, expect to be infected with Comrade Dan stupidity Good on them but not many will bother reading it. Who in their right mind want to? It's the ones heading in the other direction, desperately trying to escape the place, you have to work on.
