Lockdown ends in Noosa but masks remain

The current three-day lockdown ends at 6pm today for Noosa and Sunshine Coast communities.

However additional measures remain in place for 14 days until 5.59pm on Friday 16 July.

Residents must carry a mask at all times outside the home and wear them indoors or if social distancing isn’t possible.

You must be seated to drink or eat in cafés and restaurants, and businesses and venues must return to the one person per 4m² inside and one person per 2m² outdoors, while smaller venues up to 200m² are allowed one person per 2m² with a maximum of 50 people.

Private gatherings are restricted to 30 people, and up to 100 people can attend weddings and funerals. Only 20 people can dance at weddings.

Lockdown will extend for 24 hours in the Brisbane and Moreton Bay local government areas after additional cases of community transmission were detected.

If you live in the Brisbane or Moreton Bay local government areas, you can only leave home to buy essentials, such as groceries or medications; work or study if you can’t do either from home; exercise in your local area; or for healthcare or to provide help, care or support.

This lockdown requirement for Brisbane and Moreton Bay will be reassessed Saturday morning, pending further health advice.
