Australian state border restrictions

[Buzzard]

Yesterday +1 and I traveled through 3 states (NSW, Vic and SA) without any problems. We didn't even have to stop at the fruit checkpoint
Could this be some sort of record?

Nah just back to normal - it’s wonderful isn’t it.

Brother came through yesterday and got the obligatory fruit fly check at Yamba. That was about 11am

Did the fruit flies check in using the QR code?

I would hope so but judging by the outbreaks in Adelaide this year they obviously aren’t

Which is pretty much ended now. As someone on SA Health FB posted, “ok to bring in Covid, but do not bring in Fruit Fly”.

Still some areas of concern in the Plympton, Camden Park area. PIRSA still running a huge number of home inspections and eradication

WA records worst ambulance ramping figures in history as it prepares to let COVID in

New figures reveal ambulance ramping in Western Australia doubled last year, with paramedics spending the equivalent of six years waiting outside hospitals, as the state prepares to open its borders in one month.

But even if it does open in February it will only be for a short time as this hospital situation will mean back to locked borders due to a public backlash due to his long fear campaign.

Quite possible. I suspect before opening the restrictions will be ratcheted up to 11, making any but the most essential of travel effectively impossible.

I am currently planning three trips in the next 3 months.

3 days in Sydney
4 days in Perth
4 weeks in Turkey, Croatia, Malta, Spain and Ireland.

Guess which trip I am about to cancel

4 days in Perth

4 days in Perth

Of course not. He'll be cancelling the OS component to allow more time for quarantining in Perth. No brainer!

Ripping reply......gold.

Funny you say that as one idea if the overseas trip doesn't happen is to go to Perth and cop the rules they have there. But the irony is I think they will be pretty harsh (if they can keep a cap on numbers) in 14 day isolation and with a GP in the family home I don't think a 4 week trip to Perth will be free of isolation!

So mrsdrron flew back to BNE yesterday after having a negative RAT test.
At BNE no one to check either entry certificate or the covid test.
So why do they still require one.

NT abandons PCR tests prior to arrival, as per the ABC live blog. Interestingly the NT will hand them out for free to arrivals.

Once people come into the Territory, they'll be given at RAT test (yep, even if they come by road)

They'll have two hours to conduct that test and will need to log that result via an online declaration form and carry on with their trip if it's a negative result.

If it's positive, they'll have to isolate.

 

[N860CR]

If it's positive, they'll have to isolate

Hmm… and I’m sure they all will.

 

[jase05]

Hmm… and I’m sure they all will.

And I’m sure they will all be legitimate tests

Baby steps.
