Victoria's COVID-19 restrictions have extended to the NSW Central Coast. 9News

Passengers arriving from Sydney to Melbourne on Jetstar flight before being taken to quarantine.

"If we have to make a hard border at the border, we'll do that," added Chief Health Officer Brett Sutton.All passengers arriving in Melbourne are now subjected to the states permit system. Six red zone travellers have already been forced into quarantine: two unaccompanied minors, now in isolation with their mother; and three close contacts of the cluster — a frontline worker and two community members unable to isolate at home.

Extra measures have been implemented at Melbourne airport as the state ramps up its protection measures for interstate arrivals. But 9News understands there is some confusion. With the information provided saying testing for those from the amber zone is merely "encouraged", some passengers have been seen bypassing testing stations and leaving the terminal.
