COVID-19: Business as usual for Gympie region

Gympie Mayor, Glen Hartwig has this afternoon urged residents of the Gympie region to carry on in their “usual responsible way” after the Queensland Government announced a three day lockdown of greater Brisbane starting from 6pm tonight, Friday 8 January 2021. 

“The State Government, who are leading the fight against COVID-19, are at this stage concentrating their efforts in the greater Brisbane area,“ Mayor Hartwig said.  

“This does not affect residents of the Gympie region. Only those who are living in the greater Brisbane area and have travelled to Gympie for an essential purpose like caring for a sick relative are to remain at that home until the lockdown finishes on Monday evening. 

‘”It is very much business as usual for us here at the moment. 

“However, if you do live in the Gympie region and are returning home, please be responsible.  

“Our community’s response to the pandemic has been solid, right from the start. 

“These are tough times but it’s important to be aware of the facts,” Mayor Hartwig said.
