They will be forbidden from visiting any location not related to their job or the address or hotel where they are staying and where they will be expected to self-isolate.

Queensland to close its border to all of NSW and ACT from SaturdayQueensland will shut its border to NSW and the ACT this week after people continued to dodge mandatory quarantine. Good. I’m a Qlder living in NSW. It’s the right thing to do. Now is the time to be criticised for being too cautious. It’s out of control in Vic, and too many people - politicians and officials included - have just dodged the guidelines for their own convenience. Good on them. Please learn from VIC. We all respect honesty but unfortunately many lack of that. This is all because some stupid people can't abide by simple rules and regulations. :(
