IN OTHER NEWS:

Yesterday Victoria recorded 57 new cases of COVID, the majority of which were day 13 isolation tests.

Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews said the high number of daily cases show the system is working.

The Premier also warned the government would tighten border restrictions if COVID seeded into southern NSW.

He said the reasons residents could move within the border bubble could potentially change, as could the list of local government areas included in the border bubble and the list of essential workers.

"...We will make the decisions however tough they are to keep our state safe, the notion of freedom of movement between the two states ain't happening anytime soon because it just wouldn't be safe to do that," he said.

The NSW government revealed there were COVID cases in Queanbeyan and Goulburn.

NSW recorded 681 cases of COVID yesterday.
