NSW will introduce a strict border zone with Victoria — restricting travel for health, education and employment only — in response to the rising number of COVID-19 cases south of the border.

NSW will introduce a strict border zone with Victoria in response to the rising number of COVID-19 cases south of the border.If border residents travel beyond the border zone in Victoria, they will have to isolate for 14 daysFrom midnight on Tuesday, the border zone will restrict entry of Victorians to NSW to "extremely limited purposes", NSW Health Minister Brad Hazzard said.

Mr Hazzard said the border zone would be "much narrower" but those most affected would be the community of Albury-Wodonga. The changes mean that NSW border residents will be restricted in their reasons for travelling into the Victoria side of the border zone. Mr Hazzard said under the changes, border residents with a permit will only be able to cross into the other side of the border zone "to go to work or attend an education institution if they can't work or learn from home, or to obtain medical care, supplies or health services".

Do people realise that photo you’ve got there is not even 10km from a Victorian city and there are people who work and live on opposing sides. It’s not as easy as just stay home and quarantine. Maybe we should all just quit and go on Centrelink, they seem to be dishing out $$

Send victorian guys to Nauru

Keep implementing nefarious globalist agenda systematically and this proves the moron politician are complicit and NOT truthful to the public. Outrageously treasonous conduct! WHY ALL COUNTRIES around the world HAVE SIMILAR 'LOCK STEP' MEASURES? Coincidence? Definitely NOT!

Awesome. Lock it down. It is out of control down there.

Quick shut the gate, the horse has bolted

What an utter shambles the Victorian government has been throughout this matter. One thinks they have reached their use-by date...

MorpheusBeing Does anyone remember the Fruit Fly checking stations, they were about for years.

Why? Seriously we’re not all trying to get into NSW 🙄

No apologies for dividing Australians too. Now most Vic are pariahs in most states & excluded from all states of Australia. If NSW get another wave,I pray not.Who will the government at NSW will blame next? The Freight workers & truck drivers from interstate?will u ban em too?

We knew it was coming.

“Victorians, assume the position”.

But muh open borders!

Again, how can the government allow thousands to protest BLM in the streets but fine a person from travelling in a car by themselves to an isolated fishing spot? Where's the logic Dan?

Prob should have thought about before school holidays... hindsight.

Welcome to NSW mofos!

Civil war please we are bored
