Police said a number of people attempting to cross into Queensland could not prove they had not been in Sydney in the last two weeks.

At least 611,000 border declaration passes have been handed out since December 21, but police have been forced to block entry to a minority, including people who could not prove they hadn’t been in Sydney.

“The majority of those people had come directly from a COVID-19 hot spot or had been there in the last 14 days,” Superintendent Wheeler said.
