Those who have returned from Queensland to Victoria since January 2 will need to get tested and isolate until 6pm on Monday, and await further DHHS advice.
Victoria’s COVID response commander Jeroen Weimar said Victorians who are currently in green zone parts of Queensland should considering coming home, due to the uncertainty of the COVID-19 situation in the state.
“If you’re in Greater Brisbane, then stay there,” Mr Weimar told 3AW on Friday.
“The Queensland government is asking everybody in the Greater Brisbane area to stay exactly where they are, stay locked down for three days to Monday, while they try to find out as much as they can about this case and any contacts.
“I would not be planning a trip to Queensland at this time. At this point, there’s no closure on other parts of Queensland, but my advice would be to start making plans to come home, unless you intend to be up there for a significant period of time.
“As we’ve seen with NSW, we don’t know how this stuff is going to pan out over the space of the coming days and weeks.”
