COVID-19 restrictions are easing again in Queensland.

From 4:00pm on Friday (August 27), restrictions in the 11 south-east Queensland council areas will shift to the level elsewhere in the State – except for masks.

This means restrictions on public gatherings, stadium capacity and home visitors will now be consistent across Queensland, except for additional mask requirements in south-east Queensland.

Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk said Queensland was entering Stage 3 of the “Unite and Recover Roadmap”.
