The Queensland government has outlined two weeks of restrictions following the short lockdown of Brisbane and surrounding areas.
Brisbane City Council and the Moreton Bay local government area, north of the city, came out of lockdown at 6pm on Saturday, 3 July.
Other local government areas included in the initial three-day lockdown – Noosa, the Sunshine Coast, Ipswich, Logan, Redlands, the Gold Coast, Scenic Rim, the Lockyer Valley, Somerset and Townsville – came out of lockdown a day earlier, on Friday.
Can you leave your home?
Yes, there are no longer any restrictions on leaving your home unless you are self-isolating as a close contact or awaiting test results.
Do you need to wear a face mask?
Yes. People in any of the areas that were subject to the three day lockdown will still have to wear a mask when they are outside of their own home, unless you are alone or with members of your household outdoors or in your car; you are eating or drinking; you are at work (except in the hospitality and transport industries) and can isolate from others; or it is unsafe to do so.
In the rest of Queensland, people are encouraged to wear masks but it is not mandatory. If you have been in the above LGAs in the past 14 days you must carry a face mask with you at all times.
What are the limits on gatherings and events?
People in south east Queensland, Townsville, Magnetic Island and Palm Island can have 30 people gather in their home, in an outdoor setting, or in another venue. Elsewhere in Queensland, the limit is 100 people.
Funerals and weddings held indoors are limited to one person per two square metres, or 200 people, or 100% capacity of the venue with ticketed allocated seating – whichever is greater.
There is no limit on numbers for outdoor weddings or funerals.
Are businesses open?
Shops, restaurants, cafes, cinemas, gyms, beauty services and other businesses can operate subject to density limits and Covid-safe rules, listed here.
From 9 July, the use of a Covid check-in app will be mandatory for many businesses.
