The Victorian government has closed its border to all of NSW and the ACT overnight, extending the range of its previous closure, which only included the Greater Sydney region.
The border closure, which saw all of NSW and ACT become a ‘red zone’ under Victoria’s permit system, came into effect from 11:59pm on Sunday night.
The news came after NSW reported another 77 cases of COVID-19 on Sunday, despite having just entered its third week of lockdown.
