The Australian Capital Territory has joined every state in Australia and the Northern Territory in slapping travel restrictions on greater Sydney, as an outbreak in the city continues to grow days out from Christmas.

From midnight on Sunday, the ACT will require anyone coming from greater Sydney, the Central Coast, Illawarra-Shoalhaven and Nepean Blue Mountains to enter quarantine.
