Queensland’s vaccination mandate for most venues – including pubs, cafes and restaurants – will be scrapped within a week, the premier has announced.
The controversial order, which has been in place since December, required people to show proof they were fully vaccinated against Covid-19 before entering venues across the state.
Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk on Tuesday announced the restrictions surrounding these orders would be further relaxed.
From April 14, venues once open to vaccinated staff and patrons will be open to everyone regardless of their vaccination status.
“The venues include: Pubs, clubs, cafes and restaurants, theme parks, casinos and cinemas, weddings, showgrounds, galleries, libraries, museums and stadiums,” Ms Palaszczuk wrote on Twitter.
Vaccine requirements xjmtzywwill still apply to visitors and workers in vulnerable settings.
These include hospitals, aged and disability care, prisons, schools and early childhood centres.
