All of metropolitan Sydney has now been declared a coronavirus hotspot by the Queensland government.
From 1am on Saturday, the Queensland border will be closed to people coming from Sydney.
It comes as two new cases of COVID-19 were recorded in Queensland with two 19-year-old women testing positive after returning from interstate.
Meanwhile, 19 new COVID-19 cases have been recorded in New South Wales this morning.
Of those cases:
- two are already in hotel quarantine
- 10 have been linked to Sydney’s Thai Rock restaurant cluster
- two are linked to Thai Rock’s sister restaurant in Potts Point
- one is a staff member at the Apollo restaurant which is also in Potts Point
- and one is linked to the Crossroads Hotel cluster.
Premier Gladys Berejiklian has announced restrictions for gyms will be tightened, saying all venues now require a permanent marshal at all times.
“All gyms need to have a COVID-marshal in place, including gyms who have a business model where no staff are present,” she said.
