CAIRNS & YARRABAH LOCKDOWN
LOCKDOWN ENDS AT 4pm WEDNESDAY, 11 AUGUST FOR: People in Cairns Regional Council local government area and Yarrabah Aboriginal Shire Council.
Building and construction returns to full operation, while restrictions, particularly regarding wearing masks, will continue.
MASKS
Face masks must now be worn at all times (if safe to do so), even when you can socially distance. You must carry a face mask with you at all times whenever you leave your home, unless you have a lawful reason not to.
Do I need to wear a face mask on a construction site?
If you’re on a construction site, you’ll need to wear a mask at all times, if it’s safe to do so. The construction industry has remained open due to their successful adoption of COVID-safe practices and wearing a mask wherever possible is an essential part of this.
