Masks remain in place as southeast Queensland Covid restrictions ease

MORE restrictions have eased in the Lockyer Valley and Somerset, but the mask mandate will stay in place.

Up to 100 people will be allowed to gather at homes in those local government areas, and 200 people will be allowed at weddings and funerals, while restaurants will be able to cater to one person per 2qsm. Dancing is also back.

But masks will continue to be a requirement when in indoor environments.

“These masks are a protection for us,” Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk said.

“We want to make sure we’re protecting everybody and doing the right thing.”

The Premier confirmed that the government would review the mask requirements every two weeks.

Queensland recorded no new community acquired Covid cases in the past 24 hours on Friday, with one new case in hotel quarantine.
