Mr Barilaro will be meeting with families, workers, business owners and students who have been caught in the crossfire of the war against coronavirus after NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian rejected calls to visit.
"I know locals have a lot of questions, because tens of thousands of people are contacting the government to ask about border issues, and I will provide as many answers as I can and make commonsense changes that do not increase the risk of infection or spread," he said.
"The NSW Nationals are the voice for regional communities which is why this week I have travelled from the northern border of NSW to the very southern border to meet with residents to find a viable solution for border issues affecting communities in our country towns.
"I am acutely aware that border town communities are being asked to make much greater sacrifices."
