Dr Young ‘genuinely believes’ state-wide restrictions are not a ‘big ask’

Queensland Chief Health Officer Dr Jeanette Young says she does not believe it is too great an ask to impose state-wide restrictions as a precautionary measure after recording one new infection overnight. Greater Brisbane will leave its snap three-day lockdown at midday, however, restrictions on gatherings and a mask mandate will remain in place for the next two weeks. “I genuinely believe that wearing masks, sitting down when you’re eating and drinking, protecting our most vulnerable and limiting people to 30 in their home is actually not a big requirement for the safety if gives us,” Dr Young said. “That’s why I think those restrictions need to be in the entire state, otherwise we would have to not allow people from Greater Brisbane to leave for 14 days and I don’t think that is reasonable.”
