Victoria closes border to all of Sydney and NSW Central Coast amid Covid hotspot warnings

Guardian, 20 Dec 2020
Victorian premier Daniel Andrews will declare all of Sydney and the NSW Central Coast a Covid-19  red zone from midnight tonight, meaning people who live in or have visited those areas since 11 December will not be allowed to enter the state. The state's chief medical officer Brett Sutton says the measure is being taken to halt the risk of further spread from the northern beaches hotspot.  'There will be new cases cropping up over the next 14 days.'
