NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian has indicated a lockdown in Victoria would not affect NSW borders.

Victoria will be plunged into a seven-day lockdown from 11.59pm tonight.

“A lockdown is a lockdown, it actually means people can’t leave.”

Callers to Melbourne’s 3AW have admitted they’ve already begun fleeing to Sydney.
