Is Queensland overreacting by banning Sydneysiders? - a podcast by ABC News

The daily coronavirus tallies in Queensland and New South Wales are nowhere near as high as Victoria, but health experts are warning that both states are now on a knife's edge

From early Saturday morning, Queensland will block all Sydneysiders from crossing its border, declaring the whole city a hotspot.

The New South Wales Government is so far still resisting any talk of another lockdown.

So is banning Sydneysiders fair enough? Or an overreaction?

On today's show:

* Is Queensland overreacting by banning Sydneysiders?

* Why does Queensland have concerns about Sydney?

* Why aren't other countries that are coming out of lockdown experiencing outbreaks?

* Do I have COVID toes and should I get a test?

And Coronacast looks at a new study that examines whether a 14-day quarantine is really long enough for coronavirus.
