The Queensland Government is working with businesses to develop rules around operating during inevitable Covid outbreaks when the border opens.
Acting Chief Health Officer Peter Aitken says the national cabinet was considering changing the definition of ‘close contact’ in light of higher vaccination rates.
Schools and workplaces won’t necessarily be locked down when outbreaks begin, however decisions will depend on the number of vaccinated people.
In response to business operators’ demand for answers and how outbreaks will affect their operations, they were told the best thing they can do is ensure their workers get vaccinated.
