Mr McGowan’s decision was made following an emergency meeting of the nation’s chief health officers.“Given the size of the Sydney outbreak … NSW will move to be classified as a medium-risk state.”It comes as the country anxiously awaits a press conference from NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian, where she’ll be joined by NSW Police Deputy Commissioner Gary Worboys.
Premier Peter Gutwein said he “made no apology” for announcing further restrictions, with greater Sydney upgraded to “medium risk” Saturday night. Anyone from the hotspot area of the northern beaches in Sydney who enters Queensland will need to apply for a permit and then hotel quarantine. The government approved 52,000 exemptions since Victoria introduced their new border control system at midnight Saturday, with those from Sydney’s northern beaches considered a “red zone”.
NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian has said the next 24 to 48 hours will be critical. Picture: NCA NewsWire/Joel CarrettNorthern beaches locals line up to get tested for COVID-19.

These are the current rules. As it’s an unfolding situation, it’s not known how long these restrictions will last.Tasmania has imposed quarantine for Sydneysiders. People heading to the Apple Isle must quarantine for 14 days in their home, or if they are unable to, quarantine in a hotel at their own cost. If you completed a Tas e-Travel registration and indicated you had been in NSW since December 11, your pass will be cancelled and you need to reapply.
Anyone from the NSW Central Coast or Greater Sydney area will be asked to get tested upon arrival in Queensland and isolate until they receive a negative result.The northern beaches is considered a virus hot spot and Territorians planning to visit the region should rethink their plans. Regional NSW is considered a green zone, and travellers from that region are asked to monitor for symptoms.If you travelled to WA from NSW since December 11, you must get tested and then self-isolate until you get a negative result.
The median age of Covid-linked deaths in Aus is 86 years old. Check the government website, it says it right there. So in other words: there is absolutely no need to worry as this virus only knocks off people who are on the verge of death anyway. Sad but true: ppl die, people.
