Queensland will reopen its border to Greater Melbourne from 1am Saturday after Victoria recorded six straight days without any new cases of COVID-19.
Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk made the announcement today based on the chief health officer's advice that Melbourne no longer needed to be declared a hotspot.
The changes mean anyone from Victoria travelling into Queensland will not need a border pass to enter the state and those entering from Greater Melbourne will no longer be required to quarantine.
