We’ve now put together a road map which takes us to the end of the year, and we’re going to talk about easing some more restrictions.
Now, the reason we can ease the restrictions is because Queenslanders have done a brilliant job.
I want to thank all of the families out there, all of Queenslanders, for doing the right thing. Keep up the great work!
But just remember, too, if you’re sick – stay at home and get tested. So, what does that mean? So from 4:00 this afternoon, in some great news and in breaking news, you will be able to stand up inside and outside, whether it’s at a cafe, restaurant or a bar, and have a drink.
Now there’s only one proviso. We want to make sure people are keeping up with their social distancing.
But this is something the communities have been saying to me. I’ve been travelling this week out at Moranbah, out up to Cairns as well, and I love to see people enjoying the lifestyle, and the only reason we can do this is because Queenslanders have done a great job.
And I want to thank Dr Young because Dr Young has provided us with that health advice, which enables us to do that Secondly, with I’ve made it very clear that our borders have kept us safe.
We are looking very closely at New South Wales and if they do not have any community transmission for 28 days, we said very clearly that at the end of the month, we review the plans and that would mean there may be a possibility of opening up to New South Wales if there is no community transmission. But, of course, their health experts are also concerned about some undetected community transmission at the moment.
They’re about to go into school holidays. So we’ll be watching that space very carefully, and Dr Young will be watching that space very carefully.
