States and territories have agreed to new measures to bolster contact tracing in anticipation of people beginning to move around once more.

The decisions came just after Queensland announced that from Friday next week, its borders would be open to the ACT. South Australia opened its borders to the ACT earlier this week.
Scott Morrison said “I’m sure NSW won’t be far behind” after NSW recorded just one case of community transmission on Friday.
The Queensland decision was a week after the Palaszczuk government came under fire for stopping a Canberra woman attending her father’s funeral.
ACT residents must not have entered into NSW for a fortnight before coming to Queensland. They can only fly in and must declare upon arrival they have not been in NSW or any other hotspot.
Tasmanian Liberal Premier Peter Gutwein announced his borders would stay closed until December 1.
Regardless, business remained frustrated at the slow pace, especially the continued closure of borders to NSW.
Innes Willox, chief executive of the Australian Industry Group, said: “While the reopening of flights between the ACT and Queensland is welcome news for residents of the capital presumably you can forget a Brisbane trip if you are from Queanbeyan it highlights the nonsense of the ongoing state border closures.
It will now be easier to get from Canberra and Adelaide to Brisbane than it will be to get from Tweed Heads to Coolangatta or, until recently, than it was to get from Wodonga to Albury.”
The national cabinet meeting, which appeared to be held in a more positive spirit, caused by Victoria getting its outbreak under control, made limited progress on easing the crisis of trying to repatriate about 25,000 Australians abroad.
Due to hotel quarantine limitations and with Victoria out of action, just 4000 people a week are being repatriated. That will increase to 6000 over following weeks in a series of stages.
NSW, which already takes 2500 a week, will increase its intake to 3000 a week on Monday next week. Queensland will increase from 500 a week to 1000 a week by October 5.
Western Australia will take an extra 500 a week by October 11 and SA will also chip in.
Mr Morrison said the federal government would provide whatever military support necessary to ensure no Victoria-style quarantine breaches.
He wanted the 6000 cap lifted further. In the interim, the national cabinet discussed some states resorting to home quarantine for those returning from interstate. The ACT already does this.
“Another way we’ll be able to help more Australians get home is we’re working to ensure that New Zealanders can come to Australia, and Australians can return to Australia from New Zealand without the need to go through quarantine if they’re not coming from an area where there is an outbreak of COVID-19. For example, the whole of the South Island,” Mr Morrison said.
