Additional Mask Rules for Queensland
This morning the Queensland Government re-introduced stricter mandatory mask rules for certain public settings.
As of 1am Saturday 18 December, masks are mandatory across Queensland in the following locations:
- In retail settings such as shops, retail centres and supermarkets
- In taxis and ride shares vehicles
- On public transport
- When at airports and on planes
- In hospitals and aged care
From today, pubs, clubs and other public venues are for the vaccinated only. Masks will not be required in these venues but they are strongly recommended when social distancing cannot be maintained.
For clarity, these additional Government requirements do not apply to Hutchies' construction sites or offices.
These changes have been made in light of border openings and increased case numbers expected over the holiday period, so please remain vigilant.
The mask mandate will be revised once Queensland hits 90% double dosed. This will likely be towards the end of January.
Have a safe and happy holidays!
