Yeah I know that.
According to the entry requirements they are asked to present for a test. Did they not?
Commercial Transport and Freight travellers who have been in Victoria in the previous 14 days must have evidence of a COVID-19 test within the past 48 hours; or must have a COVID-19 test within 24 hours after arrival and must QR code in at the testing station.
Wrong.
Until very recently the rules were a test with 24hrs of arrival into SA unless proof of a test in last 7 days.
Many doing the Sydney to Perth route can time it so they spend less than 24hrs in SA and therefore avoid testing here and then get to WA and avoid the test there
I swear Ant you just settle into something and never let go despite having it explained to you about a million times.
Iām about to give up.
Good because you are wrong and no amount of saying otherwise changes that.
saw 100 new posts, thought we might have a new exciting update.
nope just Ant arguing semantics on freight restrictions with Ace, who has explained it about 7 trillion times
That rule was added on Thursday at midnight in light of the removalists.
Prior to that is was test within 24hrs unless a test in last 7 days
I wonder how often State Hubs have temporary over supply.
JJ is supposed to be sorting out supplies to hubs so that there is little to no wastage.
Sure, if some of the supplies delivered are left over, use all possible means not to waste it , but ATM the reality is that there is not enough Pfizer to meet demand.
ADD
And possibly not enough AZ curtently produced to vax the younger under age group
I will debate one thing.
How many drivers can leave SA to Perth and get back in 48 hours legally.
I reckon there is a reason they set it at 48 hours. Because it canāt be done.
Thatās right once we became red.
Which is what we should have coming from NSW.
Anyway itās Gladys fault and letās stick with that.
And, ATM, no removalists permits from NSW
Thanks
No we changed the ruling because of the removalists and Stevens tightening up rules.
Premature
Sup!
Completely agree that we donāt have enough supply. However in a limited supply scenario, avoiding wastage is all the more important.
Case in point, a 27 y/o friend, who is not eligible for a shot yet got her first Pfizer at the GP on Friday because they had some cancellations and couldnāt get enough patients in the eligible cohort to fill in (i.e. 40-60). I find it unbelievable that there wouldnāt be people in the eligible bracket desperate for a shot, but there you go. Better to put it in someoneās arm than throw it out!
As for old mate JJ, I assume he can only base supplies on the number of bookings.
As we are bordering NSW I believe we should have done from the start.
Other than a permit Is there anything else required required to enter Victoria from NSW?
If not do you believe Victoria should adopt the SA type entry requirements?
Again not true.
Itās quite possible to do it but you would need to be tested more than likely in SA on the way back.
Not saying all can do it but there are some regulars that have been able to time their breaks and journeys to coordinate avoiding testing. With the new SA rules it makes it tougher
They have already banned removalists due to what happened. What else do you want them to do? Ban trucks coming over from NSW?
The removalists should be called add-covid-lists. They added a lot more than they removed.
