Urgent Steps to Keep Queensland Safe

Brisbane ad surrounding council areas will enter a three-day lockdown to stop the spread of the highly contagious UK strain of COVID-19.

From 6pm tonight until 6pm Monday, people in the local government areas of Brisbane, Moreton Bay, Ipswich, Redlands and Logan will be required to stay at home except to attend work if you can’t work from home, buy essentials like groceries and medicine, look after the vulnerable and exercise within their neighbourhood.

Masks will also need to be worn everywhere in those local government areas outside the home.

Cafes, pubs and restaurants will be open only for take-away service.

Funerals will be restricted to 20 guests and weddings restricted to 10 guests.
