In national news, New South Wales health has announced that new rules will apply for people arriving from New Zealand starting today.

People who have visited Auckland in the past fourteen days will not have to stay in hotel quarantine if they are tested for COVID-19 after arriving in New South Wales.

They are still required to self-isolate until a negative result is achieved.

New South Wales health says they will follow up arrivals whose test results are not recorded to inform them of their obligations.
