SA to quarantine NSW travellers

South Australia has introduced new border restrictions in response to the escalating coronavirus cluster in NSW.

As of midnight tonight anyone who has been to the Greater Sydney area will be required to complete 14 days of suitable quarantine on arrival in South Australia, they will need testing on arrival, and on day 5 and day 12.

Hard border arrangements will be in place for anyone who has been on the Northern Beaches.

Regional NSW will be required to do the testing but won’t have to isolate.

Another three cases of COVID-19 were also confirmed in South Australia, which were all from overseas travel and in hotel quarantine.

Chief Public Health Officer Nicola Spurrier said she was confident in how the government has handled the risks so far, but said the public had to play their part.

“You don’t go out to a Christmas party if you are feeling unwell,” she said.

Prof. Spurrier said a hard border with all of Greater Sydney was not yet required.

“We have a good way of doing the testing in South Australia … we have a way of enforcing,” she said.

This means people who live or have travelled from these Red Zone communites since December 11 are banned from entering Victoria.

Anyone who enters from the red zone will be subject to 14-day mandatory hotel quarantine.

Sydney cluster grows

There have been another 30 cases of coronavirus in NSW and restrictions reintroduced for Greater Sydney, leaving Christmas plans for millions of people in limbo.

NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian said 28 of those cases were already linked to the Avalon cluster.

Restrictions have been expanded for the Greater Sydney area, with no more than 10 people allowed in a home.

This will be in place until midnight on Wednesday as a precaution.

Volunteers book hotel room for homeless man with SingapoRediscovers vouchers

NewsColony Volunteers book hotel room for homeless man with SingapoRediscovers vouchers © The Independent Singapore Singapore — A group of volunteers from the Mummy Yummy Singapore welfare organisation donated their SingapoRediscovers Vouchers to book a hotel room for a homeless man. The man, who was identified as Jayden, did not have a place to live while waiting for the Housing Board (HDB) to allocate him a rental flat. In a Facebook post on Mummy Yummy Singapore’s page on Wednesday (Dec 16), the volunteers said: “We used our $100 Rediscover Singapore vouchers to redeem hotel stay for him and successfully booked 9 days worth of stay at 3 days per voucher.” They added that they were unable to book a longer stay because of higher hotel rates over Christmas and New Year. The volunteers hoped that they would be able to bridge Jayden’s stay until he got a flat. “Thanks our government for giving us these vouchers which in return we can put them to good use for people in need,” th...

JANE FRYER: The judo master who made me the fall guy… aged 97!

NewsColony JANE FRYER: The judo master who made me the fall guy… aged 97! Jane Fryer is pictured above with Jack Hearn. ‘See, I’d get you round the neck and press on your Adam’s apple,’ he grins, silver moustache bobbing, white teeth flashing. ‘ And if I carried on with that, you’d be dead in a minute’ There is a startling moment in Jack Hearn’s extremely spick and span kitchen, when I’m standing between his trophy table and the wall and he’s telling me how he could finish me off with his huge, bearlike paws. ‘See, I’d get you round the neck and press on your Adam’s apple,’ he grins, silver moustache bobbing, white teeth flashing. ‘ And if I carried on with that, you’d be dead in a minute.’ We have already had a lively discussion about whether he should, or should not, throw me over one of his surprisingly wide shoulders on to his beautifully vacuumed living room floor. ‘I could throw you, of course I could! But I won’t,’ he says.  ‘It’s not fair — you don’t know...
