With further cases of coronavirus announced this afternoon, Victorian Acting Premier Jacinta Allen has advised that as of 11:59pm from the 1st of January Victoria will close the border to the entirety of NSW.

While previously the border was only closed to the red zones of Greater Sydney and the Northern Beaches, the closure will now affect all NSW residents.

Any Victorians returning between now and 11:59pm on the 1st of January will need to undertake a test and isolate for 14 days (or until a negative result is received). Anyone who returns after the deadline will need to enter hotel quarantine.

Details of access for Border communities are yet to be announced.

More to come.
