Watch live: Health Minister Martin Foley and COVID-19 response commander Jeroen Weimar are providing a coronavirus update after Victoria recorded 2179 local cases. Covid19Vic

Queensland has had another day of no new local cases.

Another was a truck driver who came up from Victoria through Goondiwindi, in southern Queensland, before driving to Ipswich. A man in his 50s from western Sydney, who was not vaccinated, died at St Vincent’s Hospital and a woman in her 80s from south-western Sydney died at Liverpool Hospital. The woman had received one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine and had underlying health conditions.

People who have had both doses of a coronavirus vaccine will be allowed to have 20 visitors to their homes from Monday, up from the current limit of 10, and the cap on outdoor gatherings will increase from 30 to 50 people. “The reason we have made that decision is based on vaccination rates in front of us. If you look at the percentage of LGAs have reached that 80 per cent double-dose here in Sydney, that is where regional New South Wales will be on November 1.”

NSW Premier Dominic Perrottet announcing the end of his state’s hotel quarantine system for fully vaccinated travellers.“For double vaccinated people around the world, Sydney, NSW, is open for business,” he said.“Hotel quarantine will be a thing of the past. This is a significant day for our state.”
