COVID-19 restrictions will begin to be lifted from this Saturday, with a review taking place in two weeks.
This is a small step in restoring some sort of normality back to our lives and will be a very welcomed change especially for our local businesses in Ipswich who are financially hurting. If we can start to get our economy moving again, this will lead to jobs returning and that is something I welcome.
While activities such as bushwalking and leisure drives are allowed, please note that you must stay within 50km of your homes.
I urge people to still exercise responsibility as police still will be monitoring the situation. Please do the right thing so that the State Government continues to unlock Queensland.
Here is a list of activities allowed:
- Go for a drive
- Ride a motorbike, jetski or boat for pleasure
- Have a picnic
- Visit a national park
- Shop for non-essential items like clothes and shoes
THE CONDITIONS:
- Social distancing and hygiene must be maintained
- You have to stay within 50km of home and
- Outings are limited to members of the same household or an individual and one friend
