NSW has recorded just one new COVID-19 case in the past 24 hours - the lowest number in almost two months.
Meanwhile, the Australian Medical Association and Royal Australian College of General Practitioners on Friday called for NSW-Queensland and NSW-Victoria border residents requiring medical care to be able to freely cross between states. NSW Police officers check cars crossing from Victoria at a border check point in the border town of Albury.Doctors had also been prevented from crossing the NSW-Queensland border for work, including fill-in and fly-in-fly-out doctors in northern NSW regional communities.
RACGP Queensland Chair Dr Bruce Willett said doctors were reporting lengthy waits for Queensland border exemptions and bureaucratic processes must be streamlined. "We're trying our hardest to get the right balance but we appreciate, along the way, that certain communities will suffer more than others," Ms Berejiklian told reporters.Prime Minister Scott Morrison is expected to plead with premiers and chief ministers to lift border restrictions when national cabinet meets on Friday.

'A good sign': Victoria records 216 new COVID-19 casesBREAKING: Victoria's Chief Health Officer has described the state's latest tally of new cases of coronavirus as 'a good sign' and said the numbers are the result of mandatory mask-wearing and stage three and four restrictions. 'government actions such as border closures, full lockdowns, and a high rate of COVID-19 testing were not associated with statistically significant reductions in the number of critical cases or overall mortality.' The Lancet, July 21 Alledgedly. Science guy that should know better--based on formal training in his field--pulls imaginary statements out of his backside.
