“That is great news for people there,” she said during a COVID-19 update on Tuesday. “I know there are a lot of people that would have had their holidays booked to Queensland.”
Ms Palaszczuk said the state’s Chief Health Officer Dr Jeannette Young felt “comfortable with the way Victoria is at, and we will keep a close eye on NSW.”
The update comes after Victoria recorded no new local cases on Tuesday and as New Zealand prepared to resume quarantine-free travel with the state.
There were two cases recorded in Victoria’s hotel quarantine on Tuesday. More than 13,000 COVID-19 test results were processed in the past 24 hours and more than 15,000 people received their vaccine doses from state authorities.
In NSW, cases continue to grow. The state recorded 10 new cases of COVID-19 in the community on Tuesday – five cases were detected in the 24 hours to 8pm on Monday, two of which had already been reported. An additional seven cases were detected after 8pm.
