Tougher border restrictions are now in place for people wanting to enter NSW from Victoria, including a border zone set up along the Murray River as COVID-19 cases rise across the northern state.

The new restrictions began at midnight, with cross-border travel permitted solely for work, education, medical care, supplies or health services.
