Queensland borders closed to Greater Sydney
Overnight (at 1:00am to be precise), a new travel restriction kicked in for Queenslanders and anyone else hoping to make it to the sunshine state.
Travellers from Victoria were already restricted from entering Queensland, but now travellers from all of Greater Sydney will be turned away at the border too.
Queensland residents who have been in an area declared a coronavirus hotspot will be required to go into hotel quarantine, and they will need to foot the bill for their stay.
