Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk has declared greater Brisbane a hotspot from 5pm tonight, recommending that other States and Territories do the same, as Brisbane gets set to enter another 3-day lockdown starting this afternoon.
People in greater Brisbane will be required to stay at home for the duration of the lockdown, unless they need to leave their house for essential work, to buy food, to seek medical assistance or treatment, to look after a vulnerable person, or for exercise.
Masks will be mandatory indoors unless you’re in a single room by yourself and will be mandatory outdoors where you can’t physically distance. Masks are only mandatory in the council areas of Ipswich, Logan, Redlands, Moreton and Brisbane.
Queensland Chief Health Officer Dr Jeannette Young says schools and childcare centres will remain open for essential workers.
