Superintendent Paul Smith said compliance across Murray River Police District had been generally good, although there had been some breaches related to wearing face masks.

"On the weekend, there was a male in Deniliquin who was issued a court attendance notice for continually failing to comply with mask requirements," he said.

"We have given out a number of cautions to people."

Superintendent Smith said police were targeting people from locked down areas, both detecting those not permitted and ensuring those allowed to be here followed the correct conditions.

"The public health order changes rapidly, it changed again on Monday to include testing requirements," he said.

"Please be aware of that and if you're an employer in regional areas, be across those requirements too if you're bringing employees into regional areas."

While some visiting workers had to be reminded of their obligations, "as far as infringements for those in total breach, none at this stage".

Information from Border residents could help police in their campaign.

"The smaller the town, the more a traveller stands out," the superintendent said.

"I think we've had about 3000 reports to Crime Stoppers about people breaching, you know, leaving red zones or not complying with conditions."

Member for Albury Justin Clancy said he was not aware of any plans to tighten regional NSW restrictions at this stage but COVID transmission remained a risk.

"We need to be, as a local community, continuing to take the steps to make sure that we are doing our level best to keep our community safe," he said.

Mr Clancy welcomed the present Victoria Police mobile border operations rather than hard checkpoints.

He noted while NSW border residents could travel without a permit in Victoria, authorities preferred they stayed within the cross-border area.

The MP also encouraged kindness during a period many were finding stressful.

"Making sure that we in our interactions with one another continue to support one another, continue to be understanding of the pressures that each person faces," he said.
