Gladys Berejiklian was speaking of Victoria's decision to close the border to NSW after coronavirus cases begun to grow in the southern state.
"While I don't criticise other state governments for their decisions, at times I feel they are jumping too soon," she said during her morning press conference.

"When you do have a border closure, you put so many resources in to a concentrated activity that stops you from putting them elsewhere.
"I don't think closing the border is a good use of resources.
"I think we are better to ask the community to come forward and get testing."
Ms Berejiklian said the NSW government wasn't thinking of re-closing the border with Victoria at this time.
