COVID-19 Update

The Premier has today announced that Queensland is moving from the green traffic light status to Amber (Tier 1).

This means there are moderate rates of community transmission of COVID-19.

In addition to precautions you should take for the green traffic light status, such as staying home when sick and testing for COVID-19 if you have acute respiratory symptoms, the amber advice recommends:

• wear a mask
• in healthcare settings
• indoors, if you can't physically distance
• on public transport
• if you are older or medically at risk
• if you're around people who are vulnerable to COVID-19
• take a rapid antigen test (RAT) every 2 days if someone in your household has COVID-19.

Effective hygiene practices are key to limiting community transmission of disease. Remember to wash your hands regularly, cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when coughing or sneezing and open windows to promote air flow.
