A lot of my social media has finally cottoned on to the heavy lifting that NSW is doing. I expect Brad Hazzard to move on this hard this week. Gladys and Brad are the people that have ruined Christmas and they need to do something about it.
Or the St Peters trapeze school
The numbers aren’t that high really as a proportion of tests done which is 28Kish.
I think NSW did mention all were isolating (but we might be talking 1-2 days more) but no information as to whether household/close contacts. The excuse was something along the line it was complex given the tightness of the spread so far?!
NSW were very good with that detail in the past. Dr Chant was asked how many of them today were from contacts already in quarantine and she seemed to duck the question - not sure whether they are just working too hard on contact tracing to gave time to break it down or whether they don’t want to share it at the moment.
But in reality the number of tests is irrelevant though - the testing rate is high but it's the actual number positive that creates all the restrictions.

If they'd been to a hotspot then they were going to be put into a medi hotel. After midnight they will be refused entry. From midnight everyone will be required to self isolate and be tested three times. I think.I've read a few stories across various websites today of people flying in to SA today from NSW before the midnight cutoff being required to isolate or return to NSW - according to anecdotal reports shared by the ABC there's been a few planeloads of passengers impacted:
Adelaide arrivals were told they faced quarantine despite arriving before SA's midnight deadline
Arrivals on flights from Sydney to Adelaide on Sunday evening say they were told they would need to either go into 14 days' quarantine or return to Sydney despite arriving hours before the state's coronavirus border closure.
The SA governments emergency order drafting had better be up to scratch otherwise they’ll be sued particularly if they try to make people pay.
That’s not what Brad Hazzard has been saying.
They usually dont make people pay for domestic situations prior to their deadlines, just the internationals.
These were reportedly travelers from the Greater Sydney region (it's not suggested they'd been in a hotspot area) who were being asked to isolate prior to the midnight cutoff, so they had assumed that they would not need to undergo isolation. The ABC stories are for those arriving by air, but I read on the Sydney subreddit that another person was turned away at the road border today, and they'd mentioned others were as well.
Yes, I found his speech in the conference interesting. Now I don't know if there is in fact such a thing, but as you mentioned, its pretty simple. Here are the rules, if you're not willing to follow, don't fly here.
