Amber COVID-19 status
The Premier has announced that Queensland is moving from the green traffic light status to Amber (Tier 1).This means there are moderate rates of community transmission of COVID-19.In addition to precautions you should take for the green traffic light status, such as staying home when sick and testing for COVID-19 if you have acute respiratory symptoms, the amber advice recommends:
- wear a mask
- in healthcare settings
- indoors, if you can't physically distance
- on public transport
- if you are older or medically at risk
- if you're around people who are vulnerable to COVID-19
- take a rapid antigen test (RAT) every 2 days if someone in your household has COVID-19.
Effective hygiene practices are key to limiting community transmission of disease. Remember to wash your hands regularly, cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when coughing or sneezing and open windows to promote air flow.Further informationStay up to date by regularly checking the Queensland Government COVID-19 website.
