But senior ministers say they are reluctant to race in to opening the Victorian border until they are confident the state has its outbreak under control and its contact tracing up to scratch. He said the testing was not "quite as accurate as the longer-form testing, if you like. But the turnarounds are really, really quick, and it can help just in getting ... more of a picture," he saidPublic health sources in NSW say the way Victoria responds to another outbreak will be the acid test of whether its systems have been sufficiently strengthened.
NSW on Tuesday reported two new cases of locally transmitted COVID-19 and 10 cases in overseas travellers in hotel quarantine. The two local cases were household contacts of previously reported cases linked to a cluster in Sydney's south-west.the reopening of its border to NSW travellers without quarantine from November 6.
In question time Prime Minister Scott Morrison congratulated Victoria for overcoming the second wave of COVID-19 with a "necessary" lockdown, but added that shutting down could not be a way of managing the virus in future."What we must do is ensure we have the testing and the tracing and the isolation and the quarantine options ... because we are going to open safely and we are going to safely remain open under the policies of our government," he said.

LucyCormack AlexSmithSMH DeborahSnow May the best tracing system be for the good of all. Simple Australian value: 'Beneath our radiant Southern Cross We'll toil with hearts and hands; To make this Commonwealth of ours Renowned of all the lands; For those who've come across the seas We've boundless plains to share'
LucyCormack AlexSmithSMH DeborahSnow Well having any new cases NSW - I think Qld should keep our border closed until we are certain you are also free of covid-19. Seems checking the sewage in South Sydney indicates it is still hanging around.
LucyCormack AlexSmithSMH DeborahSnow
LucyCormack AlexSmithSMH DeborahSnow We’ve had 10 zeroes and then the cases went up. I get why Gladys is cautious.
LucyCormack AlexSmithSMH DeborahSnow Well NSW certainly showed that even 10 days of no community transmission is not a 'COVID free states'.
LucyCormack AlexSmithSMH DeborahSnow This is the new bigbrother_au
