Pathway to opening up Queensland’s borders
Dr Younger stated it was “nice” to see New South Wales open up and have a drop within the variety of their COVID circumstances.
She stated New South Wales’ plan to scrap quarantine for returned travellers from abroad didn’t change Queensland’s outlook.
“We’ll then watch and see what occurs as a consequence of that, in order that’s to our profit right here in Queensland,” she stated.
“We’ll be capable to see what is occurring in one other state, as they modify their parameters.
“We’re not going to have the ability to open up and take away all restrictions, till we have very excessive vaccine charges, and so they’re in all probability excessive throughout our complete state.”
Dr Younger stated the house quarantine trial that commenced final week was “almost” at capability.
By Thursday subsequent week, 998 individuals shall be booked in, with a 1,000 capability set for the trial.
Dr Younger stated Queensland Well being can be “instantly” reviewing the outcomes of the trial.
“We’ll be taking a look at what we are able to do to make it secure, so we are able to broaden that trial to broader areas,” she stated.
“It is a vital subject.”
