Victorian chief health officer Brett Sutton has declared Greater Brisbane will be a designated red zone under Victoria' travel permit system from 6 pm tonight.
This means non-Victorian residents from Brisbane cannot enter Victoria without an exception, transit permit, freight worker permit, specified work permit or exemption.
Victorians who are in Brisbane will need to apply to come home, then quarantine for 14 days on arrival.
Meanwhile Victorians who attended any high-risk exposure sites linked to the Greater Brisbane outbreak must immediately quarantine for 14 days and contact the Victorian Department of Health at 1300 651 160.
For a full list of Queensland exposure sites, visit qld.gov.au and search for "contact tracing".
Two Byron Bay tourist hotspots have also been listed as high-risk exposure sites.
This includes the Byron Beach Hotel on Friday, March 26 from 7.15 pm to 8.30 pm and The Farm Byron Bay on Sunday, March 28 from 8 am to 9.30 am.
EARLIER:
Anyone in Victoria who has been to Greater Brisbane since March 20 will need to follow Greater Brisbane's three-day lockdown from 5 pm tonight.
The snap lockdown comes as Greater Brisbane recorded 10 new cases of coronavirus on Monday, four of which were community transmission.
From 5 pm, people in the COVID-19 hotspot will only be able to leave their homes for essential reasons including grocery shopping, exercise, work and medical care.
Masks will be required indoors — except at home, while doing strenuous exercise or for those with medical exemptions — and on public transport and in ride share vehicles.
Only two visitors will be allowed in homes, with schools and childcare centres to remain open for the children of essential workers.
In Queensland locations outside of Greater Brisbane, masks will be mandatory in crowded areas where people can't socially distance and on public transport, and gatherings will be limited to 30 people.
Greater Brisbane includes the Ipswich, Logan, Redlands, Moreton and Brisbane council areas.
Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk said a three-day lockdown was necessary, as Greater Brisbane's new cases carried the UK strain of COVID-19.
"It is highly infectious. We need to do this now to avoid a longer lockdown," she said.
The Victorian health department listed Brisbane and Moreton Bay as "orange zones" on Saturday.
This means anyone who has been to these local government areas must apply for an orange permit on arrival in Victoria and must self-isolate, be tested for COVID-19 within 72 hours and isolate until a negative results is received.
Victoria recorded no new locally acquired cases of COVID-19 and one overseas acquired case today, after 13,963 test results were received.
