UPDATE: Police have caught five Victorians trying to illegally enter Queensland, as the investigation into an infected Melbourne couple continues.

, four days after a statewide lockdown had come into force, and travelled through regional NSW and Queensland before the woman tested positive to Covid-9 on June 8 in Caloundra.

Queensland’s chief health officer Dr Jeannette Young revealed yesterday the couple did not have an exemption to enter the state, with questions also being raised about why they didn’t undergo a mandatory two-week hotel quarantine period upon entry. NSW did not shut its border to Victoria during the lockdown period, though any travellers from the state were required to abide by the lockdown rules in NSW.

The group were fined in Victoria and then faced charges in NSW and Queensland as a result of their actions.Authorities are scrambling to trace the movements of the couple, with the pair making multiple stops during their roadtrip from Victoria to Queensland, via NSW. Their route through NSW shows they crossed the Queensland border at Goondiwindi – a town on the Macintyre River, 350km southwest of Brisbane., one theory about the couple’s route is that they chose to cross the border at Goondiwindi because the focus of police patrols were on the border at the Gold Coast.

Victoria’s deputy chief health officer, Professor Allen Cheng, revealed one of the cases checked in at the shopping centre on May 23.

South Australia to remain open to Queensland and New South Wales for nowSouth Australia's Police Commissioner Grant Stevens says he has not received any advice that would justify closing the state's borders to QLD and NSW at this time. You know a country has it wrong when a police force controls the response to a health crisis. How kind of you SA. Just to remind you, SA's failure in hotel detention created this unnecessary panic. So regional victoria have no cases so what is the advice on that!!!
