Each states’ travel restrictions in response to Northern Beaches Avalon cluster

Published

on

As the Avalon cluster had grown — prompting a raft of further restrictions to be imposed across Sydney. Other states have also reacted to the increasing case numbers by imposing restrictions on those looking to travel interstate. Here’s a breakdown of where you can and cannot travel if you’re from Sydney as of 3:00pm AEDT on Sunday.

 

Victoria

As of 11:59pm on Sunday night, all of Greater Sydney and the Central Coast will be classed as a “red zone” under Victoria’s traffic-light permit system that was introduced on Friday night.

That means anyone entering Victoria who is from or visited that “red zone” area will be forced to complete 14 days hotel quarantine.

 

Queensland

From 1:00am Monday morning, Greater Sydney will be considered a hotspot by the Queensland Government.

That means people who have been in Greater Sydney are banned from entering the state unless they have an exemption.

Any Queenslanders currently in Greater Sydney will have until 1:00am on Tuesday to return to the state.

Upon arrival, those returning Queenslanders will have to have a test and quarantine for 14 days at home.

 

 

ACT

On Sunday evening, the ACT Government said anyone coming from Sydney from midnight onwards would be asked to self-declare and quarantine.

The Government said anyone from Sydney who is not an ACT resident should not travel to the Territory.

 

 

 

South Australia

From midnight on Sunday, all arrivals into South Australia from the Greater Sydney area will be forced to quarantine for 14 days.

Those travellers will also be required to have a coronavirus test three times — on arrival, on day five and on day 12.

Anyone who has been in the Northern Beaches area will be barred from South Australia entirely.

 

Tasmania

Tasmania declared the Greater Sydney area medium-risk from midnight Saturday.

That means anyone who travels from Sydney will have to quarantine for 14 days, either at home or at their own cost in a Government facility.

 

Western Australia

On Saturday night, Western Australia reinstated a hard border with New South Wales, meaning travel into the state from NSW will no longer be permitted.

 

Northern Territory

The declaration means anybody arriving from those locations will have to undertake a fortnight of supervised quarantine at a cost of $2,500.
