Berejiklian expected to make announcement on border open date

Hopes are high that NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian will announce an open date for the NSW-Victorian border sometime today.

Earlier this week, Ms Berejiklian said the November 9 reopening of Melbourne to regional Victoria does not result in increased virus cases the border would open in 'weeks not months'.

Previously she announced a decision would be made two weeks after the reopening of Victoria, putting it at about November 23.

"We're talking weeks not months in terms of when the Victorian border may come down, but that again is based on health advice," she told reporters on Monday.

"I wouldn't be surprised if we moved more quickly against Victoria than Queensland did against us."

When asked if an announcement would be made this week, Ms Berejiklian said, "Potentially yes".

The Daily Telegraph and Seven News are both reporting that the Premier is expecting to make an announcement today.

Victoria has recorded it's fifth consecutive day with no new cases.

This story Berejiklian expected to make announcement on border open date first appeared on The Border Mail.
