Despite a localised outbreak of coronavirus in some suburbs of Melbourne, states around Australia remain under pressure to reopen their borders to interstate visitors.

However, anyone from a declared hotspot will be required to quarantine for two weeks on arrival.

"You will be required to self-quarantine for 14 days at a regional centre and at your own cost before you can enjoy the NT," said NT Chief Minister Michael Gunner. "The Territory has stayed safe by closing our borders to all states. In our next step, we will stay safe by keeping our borders closed to suburbs that are not safe."Premier Peter Gutwein said Tasmania's borders could remain closed beyond the proposed reopening date of July 24."I don't care who is calling for it, whether it be a lobby group or the Prime Minister," Mr Gutwein said.

"Victoria is a worry. It is a worry for all of us and we want to make sure that it's under control before such time as we consider bringing the border down."Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk says she doesn't want to risk a second wave by reopening too quickly.
