Queensland will be further protected – physically and financially – from coronavirus, with new travel rules for residents returning from interstate, and rental security for tenants and owners.
Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk said residents will need a permit from midnight tomorrow (Friday) night to come back into Queensland, whether by road or air.
As well, any Queenslander returning from a virus hotspot will have to quarantine for 14 days.
“So, a very strong message today – Queenslanders, let’s do the right thing, stay in Queensland and stay in your suburb,” Ms Palaszczuk said.
The Premier said the latest statistics were again encouraging, with ten new cases for a total of 953, of whom 372 have recovered.
“So let’s not put all of our good work at risk. You should not be travelling,” she said.
