UNCERTAINTY surrounding Queensland's new border restrictions with New South Wales is threatening to turn the Christmas plans of local families into chaos.
On Thursday night Queensland Chief Health Officer Jeannette Young declared anyone already in Queensland who had been to Sydney's Northern Beaches since December 11 would need to get tested and isolate in their home for 14 days from the date they left the area.
As of Friday anyone flying into Queensland from the COVID cluster area must be tested and self-isolate for two weeks, while from Saturday passengers will be directed into mandatory self-funded hotel quarantine as of 1am.
Overnight there were 28 COVID cases linked to the Northern Beaches cluster in Sydney, including a person who has since flown to Queensland.
