Mask Wearing to Continue for Another Week in SE Queensland

The Queensland Government provided the below update this morning.

Mask wearing will continue for another 7 days until at least 6am, Friday 6 August.

Masks will remain mandatory until 6am on Friday 6 August across the 11x LGAs of Brisbane, Gold Coast, Noosa, Sunshine Coast, Ipswich, Logan, Redlands, Moreton, Scenic Rim, Lockyer Valley and Somerset.

Masks are required whenever you leave home including on public transport, in taxis and rideshare, in shopping centres and supermarkets, hospitals and aged care facilities, restaurants and cafes, churches and indoor workplaces (where social distancing isn’t possible).

To keep our people safe, Hutchies prefers everyone wears masks in our offices in South East Queensland when safe to do so.

If you are inside on a construction site and cannot socially distance, you need to wear a mask, if it is safe to do so. The construction industry in Queensland has remained open due to successful adoption of COVIDSafe practices and wearing a mask wherever possible is an essential part of this.

Face masks also need to be worn at all times in stadiums, except when eating and drinking.

The face mask wearing rule also applies to you if you have been in South East Queensland in the last 14 days and are now elsewhere.
