Premier: ‘We are dealing with life and death’

Annastacia Palaszczuk said she was monitoring cases of COVID-19 in NSW daily and was determined to keep Queenslanders safe.“And if there is an outbreak of community transmission in NSW, like we have seen in Victoria, we will not hesitate to take swift action.”

“It was about making residents of border communities lives easier but they are NSW residents so there is nothing I can do about that,” Ms Palaszczuk said. The Premier also confirmed a plan to offer pandemic leave to health professionals was still on the table.
