Sydney: Restrictions on trips between Sydney and Melbourne, the largest cities in Australia, subsided on Wednesday because Victoria opened its borders for residents who were fully vaccinated from New South Wales in the midst of increasing the level of immunization.

A total of 283 cases were reported in New South Wales, down from the height of the pandemic in September.
