Around 100 people arrived in Victoria on Saturday from Brisbane after the Queensland government suddenly imposed a three-day lockdown announced Friday to contain the risk of spreading a highly-infectious UK variant of COVID-19.
It comes as the Victorian government told those in locked-down Greater Brisbane to stay where they are on Friday, while those who had returned from Queensland’s affected areas since Jan. 2 must get tested and self-isolate. Similar messages were circulated by other state and territory authorities as many attempted to rush out of the Brisbane area.
