Victoria will introduce a new 'traffic light' system for border crossings, meaning people trapped in regional NSW will be able to return to the state from 6pm on Monday night | rachael_dexter

"It will be based on the colour code, the virus status of where you have been, the virus status of where you're coming from," Premier Daniel Andrews said.Advertisement"If you have not bothered to apply for one [or] you were rejected and turn up, then you face that $5000 fine," Mr Andrews said.

"I'm pleased to say that regional NSW from 5.59pm tonight will become orange, will move out of red zone and people from Victoria who want to travel home from those areas ... you will be able to do so," Mr Andrews said on Monday. "Greater Sydney remains red and we will update that daily." "In terms of Brisbane, whilst the restrictions that have been imposed in Greater Brisbane come off at 6pm tonight, the public health team is still not 100 per cent confident that we could have people from Brisbane returning to Victoria, so we will again monitor that each day," he said.

"With such positive results over the course of the weekend, many tests, and no additional cases, but the public health team ... is not yet comfortable to have people from the Greater Brisbane area coming back to Melbourne or travelling to Melbourne regardless of where they might live. Again, that'll be updated daily."
