"Melbourne is out of control and that makes it harder for the rest of the state to stay in control and that is not a risk… we are prepared to take."
And while New South Wales closed its border to the state, the Chief Minister put residents there on notice, warning if a spike in cases is seen in the region, he will also look at declaring the country's most populist state a hotspot.
"Because of their porous border and the fact, they have only just closed they are a risk now."
"What worried me was the vision of people travelling across the border and we have always been very worried about seeding and spreading."
"We've got plenty of time to be able to get that information and make that decision."
"I thought it was fair today to put NSW on the radar."
