The NSW border to South Australia remains open as people rush to rejoin families and loved ones for Christmas.

Thousands of people are set to fly between Sydney and Adelaide in the coming days, but so far South Australia has only imposed restrictions on travellers from Sydney's hotspots and from the Northern Beaches.

Those who visited coronavirus hotspot locations are barred from entry, while anybody from the Northern Beaches needs to self-isolate for two weeks.

There were more than a dozen flights between the two cities today.

Those arriving in Adelaide were greeted by police, who conducted checks to make sure they had not visited any hotspots.

But authorities are continuing to review the situation, with a border closure possible if the cluster spreads in Sydney.

Other states, including Western Australia, Queensland, Tasmania and Victoria, have recently announced measures to halt the spread of COVID-19 from Sydney.
