A single case of COVID-19 in NSW has highlighted the varying risk tolerance of state leaders amid calls for certainty on domestic borders.

West Australian Premier Mark McGowan on Friday refused to declare whether his state would reopen to NSW as scheduled, saying he will await further health advice over the weekend related to a Sydney hotel quarantine worker's infection.

WA is scheduled to open up to NSW and Victoria from next Tuesday, dropping the 14-day quarantine requirement for travel from those states. With travel resuming across the nation, Mr McGowan has maintained that he won't hesitate to reimpose hard border controls should cases emerge.
