Queensland open to Victoria from December 1, Premier confirms

NSW reopened its border with Victoria on Monday, while Tasmania is due to begin welcoming Victorians from Friday.

The ACT is already welcoming Victorians again. The Northern Territory has been allowing regional Victorians to enter without quarantining since November 2, but still categorises metropolitan Melbourne as a hotspot.

South Australia will allow Victorians to enter the state without restriction again on December 1, the same day as Queensland lifts border restrictions.

The situation for Victorians travelling to Western Australia remained unclear. While the state government has issued advice health advice stating that any state with 28 days of no new community cases presented "low risk", WA Premier Mark McGowan has previously stated the milestone wouldn't be an automatic trigger for reopening.

Victoria reached a major COVID-19 milestone on Monday night after the last remaining active case in the state was discharged. That case was a man in his 90s who had been hospitalised with his wife since November 1.

With no remaining active cases left in the state, the news effectively brings Victoria's deadly second wave of the virus to an end.

There have been 20,345 cases of COVID-19 in Victoria and 819 deaths, most of them among the elderly in aged care.

Victoria's announcement of no new cases on Wednesday means the state has reached the Queensland government's required threshold for reopening its borders: 28 days with no "mystery" cases from an unknown source.
