Since the pandemic began, state border closures have been a moveable feast as COVID-19 outbreaks have heated up and simmered down across the country.
Monday saw three local cases recorded in Greater Sydney, while Greater Brisbane s three-day snap lockdown to stop the spread of the UK COVID-19 variant will be lifted at 6:00pm local time.
Following this, several states and territories have changed their border measures, with some downgrading Greater Brisbane from a COVID-19 hotspot.
Of the six cases to 8pm last night:
One is linked to the Berala cluster, and is a contact of a previously reported case. There are now 21 cases in the Berala cluster.
Five cases were acquired overseas.
As announced yesterday, the NSW Government has put in place a new Public Health Order to ensure anyone entering NSW from the Greater Brisbane area follows ‘stay at home’ rules.
Under the Order, anyone entering NSW by any mode of transport from the City of Brisbane, City of Ipswich, Lockyer Valley Region, Logan City, Moreton Bay Region, Redland City, Scenic Rim Region, and Somerset Region must go directly to their home or place of accommodation in NSW, and remain there until 6pm on Monday, 11 January 2021.

Subscriber only LOCKYER VALLEY residents will be invited to become members of the new cannery that is set to be constructed at Withcott later this year. Colin Dorber, CEO and Managing Director of the Lockyer Valley Cannery said the project is awaiting approval by the state government for a cooperative that will seek local investors. Once approved, residents can choose to be a member shareholder of the cooperative which has mutual obligations and in due course will pay dividends to its members. Mr Dorber said that he anticipated the approval will come from the government later this month.
