With that, I will leave you for the day. Here's a recap of today's news:

8.43am GMT

NSW Health has issued a health alert for arrivals from New Zealand, after three cases of coronavirus were reported in Auckland yesterday.

Travellers arriving in NSW from New Zealand have not had to quarantine upon arriving, because of the one-way travel bubble in place.

As a precaution, people who have arrived since Saturday 20 February are also being asked if they are well and are being asked to get tested for Covid-19 and isolate until they get a negative result, or for 14 days if they attended one of the venues.

A notice is now in effect specifying Auckland as a hotspot. This requires people arriving in NSW from New Zealand who have been in Auckland, including the airport, to enter hotel quarantine for 14 days. Alternatively, they may choose to depart Australia.
