Victoria Premier Dan Andrews has warned he s set to tighten travel restrictions even further as the border with New South Wales looks set to stay firmly shut indefinitely.
The state branded NSW a red zone ahead of last week s snap five-day lockdown after a team of Sydney removalists brought the deadly Delta variant of Covid to Victoria.
The border closure currently means anyone now arriving from NSW must apply for an exemption before they are allowed entry into the state.
But as the Victoria lockdown was extended on Monday after the state recorded 16 new Covid-19 cases, Mr Andrews hinted at even tougher measures ahead.
