SYDNEY, Jan. 1 (Xinhua) As local COVID-19 cases in Australian states of New South Wales (NSW) and Victoria continued to grow, stricter border restrictions are in place across Australia from the first day of the new year.
At midnight of the New Year s eve, anyone who has been in NSW in the preceding 14 days are prohibited from entry into the neighbouring state of South Australia, unless they are essential travellers, South Australia residents or just transiting in and through NSW. It is still not clear where the Northern Beaches cluster started from and that means there may be some chains of transmissions in other parts of NSW that haven t surfaced yet, said South Australia s Public Health Chief Officer Nicola Spurrier.
