With dining in at restaurants, pubs and clubs with a maximum of ten patrons at a time being permitted as of Saturday, many food services will be reopening their doors. Businesses are required to have a COVID-safe plan in place with many establishments requiring bookings ahead of time. Make sure to call up your local cafe or restaurant to check for availabilities before heading over for a bite to eat.

Hairdressers and beauty therapy establishments are required to keep record of names and contact details of each client serviced, given close interactions and to assist in contact tracing if required. For more information visit business.qld.gov.au.
