Travel restrictions for residents on the NSW-Victoria border will be eased, allowing some agricultural workers to travel 100 kilometres north of the Murray River.
Currently, border residents with permits to enter NSW must stay within a 2.5km zone, but Deputy Premier John Barilaro today revealed that would be extended to 50km, with a 100km exemption for agricultural workers.
The announcement comes as NSW recorded three new coronavirus infections, and police charged a Victorian man who allegedly crossed the border illegally and lead them on a 200km car chase.
One of the three new COVID-19 cases is in hotel quarantine and the other two are linked to known cases.
