Queensland wakes up to new face mask restrictions

The Queensland Health authorities imposed the restriction across Queensland at 5pm yesterday (March 29), as Greater Brisbane commenced a three day lock down due to a growing COVID-19 cluster.

  • shopping centres, supermarkets, retail outlets and indoor markets
  • hospitals and aged care facilities
  • hospitality venues such as restaurants and cafés (not required for patrons while seated; customer facing staff only)
  • churches and places of worship
  • libraries
  • indoor recreational facilities and gym (except if doing strenuous exercise)
  • indoor workplaces (where safe to wear a mask and you can’t physically distance)
  • public transport, taxis and rideshare, and waiting places or queues for this transport
  • airports and travelling on planes.

Other restrictions also apply to Queensland including gatherings restricted to 30 people in homes, seated at food or beverage establishments and no personal visitors at aged care, hospitals and correctional facilities.
