NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian has taken a jab at her Queensland counterpart after the state slightly relaxed targets New South Wales needs to hit before border restrictions are relaxed.
Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk said she would reconsider a hard border closure with her southern neighbour if there were 14 days with no community transmission of coronavirus.
But Ms Berejiklian felt the reduction from 28 days was still unattainable after recording 10 new coronavirus cases in the state today.
“I’m relieved she has put the impossible benchmark down to a highly unlikely benchmark,” the NSW premier said.
Ms Berejiklian said six of the ten cases were in hotel quarantine, with the remaining linked to known clusters.
A mystery case reported on yesterday has now also been linked to a source.
She also said there were nearly 20,000 tests done and asked people not to delay seeking a test if they are sick or if it is the weekend.
