Tasmania has announced that it will lift its border with Victoria on November 27, meaning Melburnians can go on a Tassie holiday even sooner than hoped.
Currently, Victorians travelling to Tasmania must quarantine on arrival in a government-designated facility – such as a hotel. From Friday, November 13, however, Victorian travellers may be able to quarantine at home or another suitable premises, before the border is fully lifted on November 27.
The lifting of border restrictions between Tasmania and Victoria on November 27 is dependent on Victoria maintaining low case numbers. At the time of writing, Victoria has not recorded a single case for 12 consecutive days.
Travellers from all other Australian states and territories, plus New Zealand, can already travel freely to Tasmania.
