Statement from Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk 4 November

Premier and Minister for the Olympics The Honourable Annastacia Palaszczuk

Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk has announced changes to Queensland’s border bubble following an outbreak in Moree.

From 12:01am, Friday November 5, Moree will be declared a restricted border zone area.

It means residents of Moree will no longer have access across the Queensland border as part of the border bubble, except in exceptional circumstances: including for the likes of essential healthcare.

It follows an outbreak that has so far spread to 33 cases in NSW. This is in addition to three cases that were reported in Queensland today.

There will also be a change to border directions, so that unvaccinated people in the New South Wales border zone, won’t be able to come to Queensland to places and services that are available only to vaccinated people in New South Wales.
