In Victoria, people are allowed up to five visitors to a household, and can gather outdoors, though not in backyards, in groups of 10. On Friday, NSW will implement the same visitation rules.
But like most things, what's allowed on one side of the Border isn't necessarily the same as what is allowed ten minutes down the road on the other side.
We've put together a guide on what the easing of restrictions will mean for Albury and Wodonga.
HOSPITALITY
From Friday in Albury and Southern NSW, restaurants and cafes will be able to open and serve up to ten people at one time.
On the Victorian side of the Border, there are no changes to restrictions around the hospitality industry.
Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews opted not to follow the lead of NSW and allow cafes and restaurants to open with 10 patrons, saying he felt it would be near impossible for businesses to afford to open under such heavy restrictions.
Cafes, restaurants and pubs can continue to offer take-away options, with many businesses in Wodonga, Wangaratta and smaller North East town already doing this.
TOURISM
While residents in NSW and Victoria can now both visit family and friends, holidaying is still out of the question for now.
In NSW, restrictions around regional holidays remain in place, while in Victoria Mr Andrews said there were no specific restrictions about how far people could travel to visit family or friends, common sense should be used and overnight stays should not occur.
Parks Victoria has confirmed all barbecue facilities, water fountains, playgrounds and outdoor gyms remain closed.
Although some Victorian state parks have reopened, camping and overnight activities are not permitted.
In NSW, the Kosciuszko National Park and Mungo National Park remain closed.
No camping is permitted in NSW national parks.
SCHOOLS
Since Monday, schools in Albury have been transitioning back to the classroom with schools taking different approaches to the transition.
Albury Primary Principals Council president Brett Davies, who is principal of Lavington Public School, said the NSW Education Department allowed schools to choose the most appropriate system.
He said some schools were organising each day's attendees by year level, others by alphabet or school house.
Albury region non-government schools are also transitioning back to the classroom.
Victorian students will begin to return to class in a staged transition from May 26, with all students attending as normal from June 9.
Initially just prep, grade 1, grade 2 and year 11 and 12 students, along with special schools, will return to class before being joined on June 9 by the remainder of students.
Mr Andrews said when classes resume, schools would be different with staggered drop-offs and breaks.
SPORT
AUSSIE RULES:
Ovens and Murray Football-Netball league clubs won't be able to return to training until being given the all clear by AFL Victoria.
The AFL is set to announce this week its plans as to when it will restart the season as well as its recommendations for country leagues across the nation.
SOCCER:
AWFA wants to have more certainty around health guidelines before allowing clubs to return to training.
Despite both NSW and Victorian governments beginning to relax lockdown restrictions in recent days, which allow groups of 10 people gathering for outdoor activities, AWFA president Mark Leman isn't rushing.
Leman isn't expecting matches to happen until the government moves into stage three easing of rules, which he believes wouldn't be until at least July.
HOCKEY:
Hockey Albury-Wodonga wants to be ahead of the game once given the all clear to allow clubs to resume training.
The Border association is affiliated with Hockey Victoria, and, following the Victorian government's decision to begin easing lockdown restrictions they hope to be training in a fortnight.
TENNIS:
Margaret Court Tennis Academy had already begun running one on one coaching in Albury, but a return to tennis on the Victorian side of the Border looks near.
Director of coaching in Wodonga Cameron Meagher said while it's still in the early stages, he expects a return to courts in the coming week.
Discussions will now be had as to how a return to coaching will look.
Court hire for players will also be looked into in the coming days.
NETBALL:
Yarrawonga netball coach Tracy Gillies admits more clarification as to how a return to training may look is needed before clubs get too excited.
It comes after it was announced on Monday that Victorians would be allowed to take part in outdoor recreational activities in groups of 10 or less.
Gillies said while it was a good sign, there's still questions left to be answered.
FISHING AND RECREATION
In NSW fishing has been allowed throughout the coronavirus lockdown, within social distancing requirements.
Jet skiing, water-skiing, sailing, kayaking, fishing from a boat or paddle boarding are all permitted, but boating for purely recreational purposes is not.
Across the border, Victoria had banned fishing but Monday's loosening of restrictions reversed the decision.
Fishing, including charter fishing, fishing from the shore and from a boat is now permitted in Victoria, with anchoring allowed only while fishing.
People must maintain a physical distance of 1.5 metres and can not fish in groups of more than 10 people.
Similarly, restrictions apply for recreational boating and other boating activities including water-skiing and wakeboarding, kayaking, canoeing and paddle-boarding, sailing, windsurfing and jet-skiing.
Hunting, including duck hunting, is permitted though groups are limited to 10 people and physical distancing of 1.5 metres must be maintained. Some wetlands, or parts of wetlands, are closed to hunting.
In NSW, fishing has been allowed throughout the coronavirus lockdown, within social distancing requirements.
Jet skiing, water-skiiing, sailing, kayaking, fishing from a boat or paddle boarding are all permitted, but boating for purely recreational purposes is not.
