Queensland Directives:

Queensland school students will have a pupil free week from Monday so teachers can prepare to teach remotely. Essential workers will still be able to send their children to school.

Queensland police have launched a crackdown on people flouting the health regulations and are armed with the ability to hand out fines of up to $1334.50 for individuals and $6672.50 for businesses.

If a person does not comply with the quarantine directions, penalties of up to $13,345 for individuals and $66,672.50 can be doled out.

Emergencies officers have also been given the power to direct businesses, like supermarkets, to open and close.

Non-essential indoor gatherings of 100 people have been banned.

Queensland Police announced last week they would start monitoring crowd numbers in the state’s party precincts to ensure they adhere to the new rules.

Revellers have also been asked to limit their attendance at venues to less than two hours’ duration.

A succinct list of what is business as usual is as follows:

Under the new measures, cafes and restaurants will be able to operate, but only to offer take away and delivery services.

Hotels will be allowed to continue operations in an accommodation capacity.

supermarkets:

banks

petrol stations

pharmacies

Shopping centres will remain open, although physical-distancing rules still apply. That means there needs to be at least 4 square metres available for every person in the area.

In real terms, you should still be trying to keep 1.5 metres away from people at all times, and avoiding any handshakes or physical contact with people outside your family.

Retail premises will need to display a sign saying how many people can be in the store at one time.

So if you’re thinking about ducking down to a shopping centre, consider whether it is essential.

Hairdressers and barbers can continue but customers must limit their visits to 30 minutes and social distancing measures apply

Visiting others at their home, or having visitors in your home, should be kept to a minimum.

If you are having people over, there should only be a very small number of guests.

So there should be no barbecues, parties and big dinners with friends or extended families.

Mr Morrison said he understood this would be a “significant sacrifice” for many people.

BBQ’s and playing games in the park or street is no longer allowed.

States and territories which have locked borders:

West Australia, Tasmania, South Australia NT, ACT and Now Queensland: all travelers will not be allowed in unless it is necessary travel to which a 14 day quarantine period will apply. The Queensland locked borders begin from midnight Wednesday.

Stage three of restrictions may see retail stores closed
