What Queenslanders can and can't do this Easter

Despite Greater Brisbane being released from lockdown at 12pm today, some restrictions will remain in place across Queensland in a bid to fully stamp out the latest COVID-19 outbreak.

There was just one new local case in Queensland today, but Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk and Chief Health Officer Jeanette Young said a number of rules will remain in place for two weeks from 12pm today till 12pm on April 15.

Here are the new rules.

Mask mandate to remain

All Queenslanders will be required to continue to carry a mask when they leave their homes, and have been asked to wear them when indoor spaces such as shopping centres, supermarkets, indoor workplace, public transport, ride share vehicles and taxis.

However masks won't be required when undertaking "strenuous exercise" such as at the gym. 

LIVE UPDATES: 'Easter good to go' across Queensland

Free to travel, but be wary of destination

Queenslanders can now leave their homes for any purpose and can travel anywhere in the state and Australia, but have been told to check if their destination has been deemed a COVID-19 hotspot by other states and territories.

Greater Brisbane is still considered a hotspot in several states.

No dancing or drinking standing up

Restaurants and pubs will be allowed to reopen for seated patrons, but indoor venues will require them to remain seated for the duration of their stay, except when going to collect food and drink items from bars or kitchen locations.

Dancing is also not allowed at indoor venues.

However, Dr Young said standing and dancing would be allowed at venues and events that took place outside, including pubs and weddings.

There is a cap of 30 people at private gatherings, as well as a cap of 500 people who can gather outside at public spaces, such as parks and beaches.

Large outdoor events can also continue as planned, as long as they have a COVID-safe plan in place and an attendance cap of 1500 people, with Dr Young asking Queenslanders to use "common sense" when it comes to putting on a mask in large crowds. 

Stadiums and performance venues can run events at 100 per cent capacity if they are fully ticketed and seated.

Easter church services to go ahead

Easter church services have also been given the go-ahead, with the two-square-metre rule to apply and mask-wearing mandatory.

Churches may fill to 100 per cent capacity if they have a ticketed event or allocated seating.

"The churches know how to do that, so that's further good news," Ms Palaszczuk added.

Restrictions on aged care homes

Visitation restrictions will also still apply on the states aged care, hospital, disability care and correctional facilities, with no personal visitors to be allowed during the two week period - unless for end-of-life visits.

This means no one will be able to visit residents over the Easter weekend, a decision that has stemmed from the COVID-19 vaccine not yet being rolled out for long enough to affect all the states aged care facilities.

"Hopefully when we get all of those sites vaccinated in the future, we won't have to do that again," Ms Palaszczuk said.

Check-in to venues

Dr Young asked patrons to ensure they put in their correct details when they check-in to any venue, saying its "so easy to get one digit wrong" .

"Just double check when you put that information there because the quicker we can get hold of people and contact-trace, the quicker we can then immediately get out of whatever issue it is," she said.
