A month into Queensland's vaccine mandate, police are warning businesses to follow health orders and staff to wear masks or more will face fines.
Queensland police say businesses relying on signage instead of checking the vaccination status of customers could be fined for not following the government's health directives.
Some Gold Coast businesses are displaying signs that read "our job is done" as an alternative to checking vaccination certificates. So far just two Gold Coast businesses have been fined since the rules were introduced, with police saying compliance around the coast is "good" overall."It's not surprising given the sheer number of interstate visitors which would have caused seeding events to have occurred," he said.
He said individuals needed to "play their part and actually be vaccinated" and be able to show proof when asked.
