As Victoria's coronavirus cases remain high and Melbourne enters stricter lockdown, NSW Health rejects calls to force travellers from Melbourne into hotel quarantine and says it has a strict screening process in place at airports.

NSW Health nurse Sarah Jane Nilsson, health commander managing the screening process at domestic airports, said up to about 200 people were arriving each day on flights from Melbourne.

Passengers with a high temperature or who didn't pass health screening are placed into a "pre-defined area for symptomatic passengers" and a decision would be made "on an individual basis" about whether they would need to be taken to a health hotel. Lori Birch, who flew into Sydney in transit to Byron Bay for her father's funeral, said the experience at Sydney Airport was thorough.Many travellers from Melbourne told the ABC at Sydney Airport they were staying in the city for one night before flying onwards to their home country.
