Western Australia is reinstating its hard border with NSW as of midnight tonight in response to the growing COVID-19 cluster on Sydney's Northern Beaches. 9News

"It is clear NSW will record further cases in coming days."

There are long lines of travellers at Sydney Airport hoping to beat state travel restrictions amid the growing Northern Beaches cluster. Mr McGowan said he did not "point fingers" over what happened but said NSW needed to "kill the virus"."They step on a gym here, a restaurant there ... They need to stop the virus."He pointed to South Australia's and Victoria's harsher COVID-19 measures as a successful way to combat the spread.

Mr McGowan said he hoped the reinstated hard border would only be active for a short time, but that its imposition was currently open-ended.
