Travel restrictions have once again been implemented by the Queensland government as the NSW COVID-19 cluster grows in size. 

As of 1am this morning travellers of greater Sydney, The Central Coast, Blue Mountains, Wollongong and Shellharbour will not be allowed to enter the state unless they qualify as having an essential purpose.  

Chief Health Officer Dr Jeannette Young said, “The sharp rise of cases in Sydney today is extremely concerning due to many of these cases being infected by fleeting contact."

“Locations are being added multiple times throughout the day, so it’s absolutely vital people keep checking that list.”
