The new changes were introduced on Saturday, December 4.
The Victorian Cross Border Corridor is the area 70 km to the west of the border between South Australia and Victoria and includes:
- Glenelg Shire Council
- Hindmarsh Shire Council
- Horsham Rural City Council
- Mildura Rural City Council
- Southern Grampians Shire Council
- West Wimmera Council
There have been some specifications for the Nhill area due to the number of COVID-19 cases in the community.
