On December 20, residents of COVID-19-affected areas in NSW were told not travel to the ACT, while Canberrans returning home from those places were told they would have to quarantine for 14 days upon their arrival.It comes after NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian this morning announced restrictions would be tightened in parts of the state.
Dr Coleman said she had made the decision to extend the restrictions based on the continued presence of COVID-19 cases that could not be traced in NSW. "We have unfortunately continued to see new exposure locations and community transmission occurring outside of the northern beaches location," Dr Coleman said."We have fought so hard to be in a fantastic position in the ACT and we want to continue that."
0 cases in Wollongong for months, but sure. Makes sense 🙄
The lunacy, the hysteria.
Ridiculous 🤦🏻♂️

ACT border opens to all of Greater Sydney except for Cumberland | Sky News AustraliaACT Chief Minister Andrew Barr confirmed the state has lifted its travel ban to all of Greater Sydney, except for Cumberland. \n\nIt comes as New South Wales recorded a fifth day of zero locally acquired COVID-19 cases. “The State”? Hello, it’s the ACT you do know what that stands for? This will put Cumberland on the map in the same way the Mitchell Shire was put on the map during the Vic Govt's early lockdowns.

ACT travellers from Greater Brisbane must self-isolate for 14 daysThe latest travel restrictions largely mirror efforts by other state and territory governments to prevent the spread of a highly contagious strain of COVID-19. Why different rules for ACT when other states are isolating if been in QLD from the 2nd until Monday at 6pm when further directions are known. Inconsistent leadership again 😡

ACT lifts some border restrictions with NSW, parts of Sydney to remain a hotspotThe ACT Government will lift COVID-19 travel restrictions for parts of Sydney along with the NSW Central Coast, Wollongong and the Blue Mountains, but much of Sydney will remain a hotspot. Big mistake, this virus will cause millions of deaths at some point Check point what?😉 Why is every single interview with the so-called 'person on the street' so negative? Do you hunt them out? I just heard someone say there was 'no medical support' for border closure. This went through without comment despite CMOs giving the exact opposite advice.

ACT extends travel ban to Sydney as virus outbreak worsensThe ACT is extending its ban on Greater Sydney and surrounding regions and Victoria has shut down any hopes of an imminent easing of restrictions. Why use a 747? Well let’s hope those from the ACT do not come down the south coast then. Usually thousands of them. 1st, 747’s have never been used as regular Sydney to Canberra service. So why use this image? 2nd, Qantas last 747 was retired months ago. So out of all the images you could have used, why use this image? Don’t let facts or accuracy get in the way of sloppy journalism. Muppets.
