List of areas unvaccinated Canberrans cannot visit after Nov 1
These regions include Newcastle and Port Stephens in NSW, and large parts of Greater Melbourne.
Anyone who is not vaccinated and has been in an identified high risk geographic area in the past 14 days will still be required to seek an exemption and be subject to stay-at-home orders for two weeks. They are only allowed to enter the ACT for essential reasons.
Vaccinated travellers are permitted to enter the ACT for any reason, but will have to apply for an exemption online. They will need to provide their vaccination certificate.
Children under the age of 12 years who cannot be vaccinated will be subject to the same restrictions as their parents or guardians. It is not clear what occurs if a minor is unaccompanied.
Interstate travel outside of high risk geographical areas can occur freely for any reason for both unvaccinated and vaccinated people.
More to come.
