Queensland Restrictions Update

Face mask rules

Additional face mask rules currently apply to those that live or work in the local government areas of Brisbane, Gold Coast, Logan, Moreton Bay, Palm Island and Townsville.

The Queensland Government rules for these LGAs state that masks must be worn everywhere indoors, including in workplaces such as indoor construction sites and Hutchies' offices.

Masks can be taken off indoors if you are alone in an office or meeting room with the door closed, you are eating or drinking or it is unsafe to wear a mask.

When outdoors, you must wear a mask when you are unable to stay 1.5 metres away from people, including at outdoor workplaces such as construction sites.

Masks can be taken off outdoors if you can maintain 1.5 metres from others, you are eating or drinking, you are participating in strenuous exercise or it is unsafe to wear a mask.

For those in other local government of areas of South East Queensland, face masks remain mandatory but with eased rules.

Vaccines are available

Queensland now has access to three vaccines: AstraZeneca, Pfizer and Moderna. All three vaccines require two doses to have the best effect.

Anyone aged 12 years and over is now eligible to receive either Pfizer or Moderna vaccines. The Moderna vaccine is very similar to the Pfizer vaccine.

Currently, Pfizer and AstraZeneca vaccines are available across state clinics, GPs and pharmacies.

Queensland has also recently increased the number of walk in clinics available. Pfizer is being offered to anyone over the age of 12 at walk in clinics.

Moderna is currently only available at pharmacies.

AstraZeneca is available to those aged 60 and above. Anyone who has had their first AstraZeneca vaccine should ensure they are booked in for their second.

Talk to your doctor if you have any questions about vaccination.
