Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk says Queensland is reopening 'on our terms'. When that finally happens in less than 24 hours, here are the roadmap details you'll need to bear in mind.
While the 80 per cent target was deemed to be the trigger for Queensland to relax border restrictions, Ms Palaszczuk said she wanted to give prior notice that Monday would be the reopening day to provide "certainty for everyone".Yes. The biggest change to Queensland's rules is opening up to fully vaccinated travellers from interstate hotspots, with no requirement to quarantine for 14 days regardless of whether they arrive by air or by road.
Ms Palaszczuk said domestic travellers from hotspots who were not fully vaccinated must only arrive by air and were still required to quarantine for 14 days in a government-nominated facility at their own expense. Anyone arriving from a non-hotspot area will still need to complete a Queensland Entry Pass to enter the state.Will border passes still be needed?
"If you're in home quarantine that was supposed to go beyond 1am on Monday, from anytime Friday go get your test, wait for your negative result — if you have that negative result in your hand come 1am Monday morning, people in home quarantine will be able to leave," Ms D'Ath said.International arrivals must be fully vaccinated and return a negative COVID test result received no more than 72 hours before arrival.
