Don't pack your bags quite yet Victoria - the rest of Australia is still expected to take many weeks to have the confidence to reopen their borders.

Add articles to your saved list and come back to them any time.Other states are expected to take an “overly cautious” approach to reopening their borders to Victorians, as they desperately seek to avoid their own second wave of the virus.

NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian this week warned that Victoria's slow take-up of QR code technology would delay the opening of the border.On Thursday, Ms Berejiklian said she was unwilling to gamble NSW and the nation’s economy by opening up too quickly. The Victorian government is also developing a QR code system for venues to record visitors' details for contact tracing. Mr Andrews said on Friday that process was under way but "it's a little bit more complex than people think".

"And I would just note this again, this is no way a criticism, it's just a fact, NSW have only just moved to the current final instalment of their QR product, in fact they are in the process of doing it now. We will get there. I expect at the same point in that opening-up journey, we will absolutely have the product out there and working very, very well."

Western Australia to relax border restrictions to all states | Sky News AustraliaWestern Australia Premier Mark McGowan has announced the lifting of his state's borders to residents from the rest of the nation, instead opting for a new controlled interstate border and set of protocols for travellers deemed 'very low risk' and 'low risk'.\n\n'The existing hard border exemption system will be removed and replaced with a controlled interstate border regime, established on an updated, nationwide, health-based threshold,' Mr McGowan said.\n\n'The Chief Health Officer has recommended a 14-day rolling average of less than five community cases in each state and territory... this threshold is currently being achieved in all jurisdictions across the country.'\n\nFrom November 14, travellers deemed 'very low-risk' for COVID-19 - from SA, NT, ACT, Tas and Qld - would be permitted to enter WA if they undergo a health screening and temperature test upon arrival.\n\nThey would also need to be prepared to undergo a COVID-19 test if necessary and fill out a G2G declaration form.\n\nResidents from NSW and Vic - deemed low risk - would be required to comply with the same conditions but would also need to take a mandatory COVID-19 test, self-isolate for 14-days and present for a second COVID-19 test on the eleventh day of isolation.\n\n Polls must be turning? Don’t these labor Premiers like to hang onto power. They will tell you what you can do. They will tell you when you can do it. You have to be so grateful. No mention of the collateral damage to jobs, businesses, empty apartments - they just don’t care. 'Residents from NSW and Vic - deemed low risk - would be required to comply with the same conditions but would also need to take a mandatory COVID-19 test, self-isolate for 14-days..' The 'open border' states NSW and VIC. You are now holding us all back.
