‼️UPDATE 1️⃣ statement from QLD Health 8:45am 22-11-21:
"There will be a border zone in place to ensure all border zone residents, regardless of vaccination status, can continue to enter Queensland for essential purposes once the border opens in December, without the need to meet the traveler testing requirements.
There may be less testing requirements for fully vaccinated people entering the border zone or entering Queensland from the border zone for non-essential reasons. We are continuing to work through the specific requirements for the 80% vaccination milestone. Detailed information will be made public when available."

📢 ABC North Coast has announced this morning that Queensland Health have confirmed that testing requirements WILL NOT apply to border communities (including the Tweed Shire) travelling to QLD for essential reasons.
✅ I am chasing official advice and specific details and will update this post as soon as I receive it.
✅ I have spoken with ABC North Coast who have confirmed the details in this post but nothing further. As always we await the QLD Government's official announcement.
