Coronavirus live updates: Brisbane lockdown end in sight as state hopes for another COVID-19 doughnut day - ABC News

The Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk said, though the lockdown is ending, some restrictions will stay until 22 January for the Brisbane, Ipswich, Logan City, Moreton Bay and Redlands areas:

"Can I thank people in the greater Brisbane region for responding in the way that they did. It has been absolutely truly remarkable. So, I can announce that the reward for their sacrifice is that we are able to end our lockdown after three days.

  

"However, we will need to continue some restrictions. And I ask for everyone's patience for this as I go through these. They are sensible, they are very logical, and they are needed for the next 10 days. This is on the advice of Dr Young, because we want to make sure that that incubation period, that 14 days, has totally lapsed before we return back to normal.

  

"So from 6:00pm tonight until January 22nd, we want you to hang on to your masks. So you'll have to carry a face mask on you at all times. This is not dissimilar to what has happened in other jurisdictions. You need to wear this mask in
shopping centres, supermarkets, retail outlets and indoor markets, in hospitals and aged care facilities, in churches and places of worship, libraries, indoor recreational facilities, such as cinemas, art galleries, those sorts of types of places and gyms.

"Now in indoor workplaces where you can socially distance you don't have to wear a mask but where you can't socially distance we ask you to put a mask on. You must also wear a mask on public transport, in taxis and ride shares. You do not have to wear a mask if you are in your own home or if you have your family in your own vehicle. So, when in doubt, wear a mask, that is very simple, but it is those crowded areas, we just want greater Brisbane for the next 10 days to all be part of this mask wearing."
