If you have been in the following areas, you must carry a face mask with you at all times, unless 14 days have passed since you were last in the area:

  • South East Queensland since 1:00 am 29 June 2021; or
  • Townsville City (including Magnetic Island) or Palm Island since 6:00 pm 29 June 2021.

You must wear a face mask at all times when you are outside your home, unless:

  • you are alone in your car or with the members of your household
  • you are eating or drinking
  • you are at your usual workplace and can physically distance from others (except if you work in a hospitality venue or are a passenger transport operator)
  • you are alone outdoors or with members of your household
  • it is unsafe.

$200 on the spot fines apply.

There are some other exceptions to wearing face masks, including for children under 12 and people with particular medical conditions or disabilities. If in doubt, wear a face mask.
