Photographs from the NSW-Victoria border at Albury-Wodonga where there is still a heavy round-the-clock police presence, despite 12 consecutive days of zero community transmissions of COVID-19 in Victoria.
Meanwhile, NSW continues to experience cases of transmissions, particularly in Sydney. In fact, researchers say that the numbers of the coronavirus in NSW could be up to three times the reported tally.
The NSW-Victoria border was closed on July 7th earlier this year, with some exemptions granted due to work and health issues. Since then, strict border crossing checks have been in place with travellers having to apply for an online QR-coded permit, which is scanned by police at checkpoints.
The border is set to reopen on the 23rd of November, 2020.
