COVID-19 Update No.18

Tuesday 7 July, 2020

This is my latest update to provide you with information about the impact of Coronavirus (COVID-19) on our community.

The NSW Government has announced the temporary closure of the border with Victoria effective from 12.01am on Wednesday 8 July 2020.

The border closure follows the spike in new COVID-19 cases in Victoria.

NSW residents returning from anywhere in Victoria will now have to self-isolate for 14 days. Previously, this was only a requirement for any NSW residents returning from a Melbourne COVID-19 “hotspot”.

We still need to ensure no further spread of COVID-19 in our community. Please maintain 1.5 metres between others and if you are sick or feeling unwell, stay at home and consult your GP.

My staff and I are here to help you. Please call my office on 9349 6007, email matt.thistlethwaite.mp@aph.gov.au or reach me via Facebook, Instagram or Twitter.
