Police are blitzing the border and Queensland airports on the lookout for Victorians and Western Australians trying to sneak into the state.
Queenslanders returning from declared hotspots in the two states are also in the sights of cops who have ramped up patrols after the border was again slammed shut to people travelling from Greater Melbourne after the city's latest COVID-19 outbreak.
All of Western Australia was declared a COVID-19 hotspot last month but that ruling is set to expire at 1am on Sunday.
