To help prevent any further spread of COVID-19, Queensland Health is encouraging residents to minimise the number of people they come into contact with.
Updated health advice directs residents to only leave their home if it’s absolutely necessary. Residents can leave their home with members of their household or with one other person who is not a member of their household. Permitted reasons to leave your home are listed below.
For a residence or household, the number of people allowed to gather in that house is limited to the usual members of that household, plus two other visitors who are family or close friends.
Mareeba Shire Council strongly urges people aged over 70, anybody over 65 with a chronic disease, and Indigenous people over 50 to stay at home for their own protection.
