Australia is closing the border between its two most populous states for the first time in a century as coronavirus cases rise

A commuter sits on a tram bench next to an LCD screen with an Australian Government directive regarding Coronavirus and social distancing on March 18, 2020 in Melbourne, Australia.The border between two of Australia's most populous states will close from midnight on Tuesday night for the first time in a century.

Premier Daniel Andrews announced the drastic move at a press conference on Monday morning, after confirming an increase of 127 cases overnight, and one death. Andrews said the enforcement of the border closure would be handled by New South Wales, due to so as not to be "a drain on resources" on the fight against the virus in Victoria.

"Today and tomorrow is the last time in which any Victorians will be allowed across the border unless they have a special permit or some exemption," she said.
