New South Wales areas have been added to Queensland border restrictions following the declaration of two new COVID-19 hotspots today.
From midday Tuesday, July 14, anyone who has been in the local government areas of Liverpool or Campbelltown in the past 14 days will not be able to enter Queensland.
