'Living with COVID-19'
Ms Berejiklian said until there was a vaccine rolled out to the majority of the population, we're going to have to live with COVID-19.
"When the situation in Victoria was quite severe some months ago, we waited until Victorian cases were consistently above 120 before we closed our border and that is the decision we took ... so the strategy we have taken is how can we maintain public health and safety without putting unnecessary stress on our citizens, and that is a fine balance we have been adopting in New South Wales.
"...What is also important to remember, and this is why we take a holistic view in New South Wales, is that when you do have a border closure, you are putting so many resources into a concentrated activity which then stops you from putting those resources elsewhere - whether its compliance, supporting the community etc. So during the pandemic, it's not just about getting the settings right and ensuring health and safety, it is also about what is the best use of resources you have.
"I don't think at this stage closing the border between New South Wales and Victoria is a good use of resources. I think we're better off asking the community to come forward to getting tested, cutting off those chains of transmission, making sure everybody has enough information about venues and about COVID-safe activities."
