Coronavirus outbreak has led to more border restrictions. See where in Australia you can travel and which suburbs are now hotspots

ABC  

As coronavirus begins to spread around Australia again, state and territory governments are taking action at their borders and looking to significantly limit interstate movement. But of course, every other state and territory has basically shut up shop entirely for people coming from Victoria, which largely renders its own border rules irrelevant. Stay up-to-date on the coronavirus outbreak Download the ABC News app and subscribe to our range of news alerts for the latest on how the pandemic is impacting the world South Australia has locked down its border with Victoria, not allowing any travellers in and even imposing greater restrictions on residents returning home from Victoria, and every other state and territory has made 14-day quarantine mandatory for anyone coming from Victoria. Western Australia still has one of the stricter set of border restrictions, banning anyone from any state from entering unless they are classified as "exempt travellers', and even those face quarantine if they are coming from Victoria or NSW. "Whether consumers are entitled to a credit note or a refund for travel bookings cancelled due to government restrictions will depend on the terms and conditions of their booking," an ACCC spokesperson said.
