Here’s an excerpt from a newspaper article relating to the pandemic, stating that the NSW Government…

“has decided to restrict passenger traffic from Victoria to this State, and to prevent further infection from Victoria. After to-day passengers by train or road will be precluded from entering New South Wales. To make the cordon effective police patrols have been constituted. People recognise where the tardy action of the Victorian health authorities has placed the people of the neighbouring State, and are fully justified in imposing strict quarantine on the border.”

But that story is not from today, but from 30 January 1919!
