Recreational regional travel within NSW will be allowed again from 1 June under a relaxation of COVID-19 travel restrictions.


Queensland's Chief Medical Officer says border closures were an extremely important measure for the state to control the spread of coronavirus.

Tourism lobby groups are among those calling for the borders to reopen in time for the school holidays but Queensland has indicated that probably won't be happening until at least September.

There's been one new positive case detected in a returned traveller.

Chief Health Officer Doctor Jeannette Young says a woman in her 70s, who returned from India via Singapore two months ago, tested positive after developing mild respiratory symptoms.

Meanwhile, people in New South Wales will be free to head to the state's holiday spots from June 1 under an easing of travel restrictions.

The state has recorded 4 new cases of Covid 19 after conducting more than 7 thousand tests. [[Tues]]

Premier Gladys Berejiklian says people wanting to venture out should plan ahead and do as much as possible online.
