From midday 1 June, 2020, stage 2 of Queensland's Roadmap to Easing Restrictions came into effect. Changes include:
- Queenslanders can travel within Queensland, with no limit on distance except for discrete First nations communities restricted under the Biosecurity Act
- Queenslanders can stay overnight or longer at a place that is not your home.
This easing of restrictions does not apply to biosecurity or restricted zones for indigenous communities.
A separate three-stage Roadmap to easing access restrictions for Queensland's remote communities has been introduced, enabling designated communities to transition from the current federal emergency biosecurity restrictions to state-based arrangements under Chief Health Officer public health directions.
Further Stage 2 changes that also came into effect on 1 June, 2020, allow more businesses to safely reopen or expand their services with a COVID Safe Plan. This includes:
- an increase of up to 20 seated patrons at restaurants, cafes and pubs across Queensland
- businesses offering accommodation, including caravan parks, can now open for all customers
- a number of businesses and facilities who previously remained closed can reopen their business for up to 20 people, including:
- gyms, health clubs and yoga studios
- community sports clubs
- tourism experiences
- museums and art galleries, cinemas, amusement parks and zoos, concert venues, theatres and stadiums
- tanning, tattoo parlours and spas (excluding water-based spa services such as saunas and bathhouses).
- The numbers of people allowed at weddings and funerals will also be slightly relaxed. Up to 20 guests are allowed at weddings and up to 50 mourners at a funeral.
Queenslanders are reminded tocontinue to follow the recommended advice from us and our federal counterparts in regard to social distancing, public gatherings and general wellbeing.
Critically, make sure you are practising good hygiene and stay home if you're sick.
Washing your hands properly and often is the gold standard of health advice that can help prevent viruses from entering your body.
As restrictions ease across Queensland, we need more people to get tested for COVID-19. Getting tested will help us find as many cases in the community as quickly as possible. This will ensure we are doing everything we can to manage Queensland's response to the pandemic.
