Qld borders have no 'epidemiological reason' to remain closed with NSW: Hunt
Health Minister Greg Hunt says there is no epidemiological reason for border closures to remain in place between New South Wales and Queensland as both states continue to record almost zero new cases. “It is almost at a continuous zero … we need to be vigilant but NSW has been a model in terms of its outcome, as has Queensland,” he told Sky News. “We don’t see that there are any Commonwealth barriers, we don’t see that there’s an epidemiological reason for any border between those two states. “Outside of Victoria we don’t see that there is a basis for any border restrictions in Australia on epidemiology or health grounds.” Mr Hunt said he understood some states would want to keep their borders closed to Victoria while the southern state fought to bring the virus under control. “But in time, very soon, we think there won’t be any basis for any domestic borders in Australia,” he said. “We think that the epidemiology in the country is so strong now that it’s a COVIDsafe country.”
