Queensland Government, media releases, excerpts, 10 April 2020:
Arrivals to Queensland – from 12.01am Saturday 11 April 2020
- A person who arrives in Queensland from another State or Territory of Australia from 12.01 am on Saturday 11 April 2020 will not be allowed to enter Queensland, unless they are an exempt resident or exempt person.
- An exempt resident or exempt person who arrives in Queensland must self-quarantine if they have been outside Australia in the last 14 days.
- An exempt resident who arrives in Queensland must self-quarantine if:
- in the last 14 days, they have been in particular areas of Australia decided by the Chief Health Officer and published on the Queensland Health website (a COVID-19 hotspot), unless the person was in the COVID-19 hotspot for an essential purpose or enters Queensland for an essential purpose; or
- they are a person mentioned in paragraph 7 item 1(b) (a person moving to Queensland to make Queensland their principal place of residence).......
From 12.01am on Saturday 11 April 2020 the following Local Government Areas in New South Wales are COVID-19 hotspots:
Blacktown
Canterbury-Bankstown
Central Coast
Cumberland
Inner West
Ku-ring-gai
Northern Beaches
Randwick
Ryde
Sutherland Shire
Sydney
Waverley
Woollahra
Penalties: A person to whom the direction applies commits an offence if the person fails, without reasonable excuse, to comply with the direction.
Unfortunately for the NSW Northern Rivers region the failure of NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian to close the New South Wales side of the border means that Queensland residents will in all likelihood continue to cross into our region as non-essential travellers, even though they are aware recreational travel is not on the list of exemptions in the NSW Public Health Order.
