Six of these deaths have been Queenslanders. • The Queensland Government has released a revised Roadmap for Queensland’s COVID Safe Future, outlining an additional three stages to further ease restrictions on travel, gatherings and activities. The Roadmap includes a timeline to further open Queensland’s border, increase gatherings at homes and public spaces, increase the maximum number of attendees at outdoor events and permit dancing at weddings with a COVID Safe Plan. • Queensland Health will undertake a COVID Safe Check Point assessment at each stage to ensure further easing of restrictions does not pose unnecessary risks to public health and safety. • Queensland is currently operating under Stage 4 of the revised Roadmap. As of 1 October 2020, eased restrictions include: - The extension of the declared border zone in Northern NSW, including Byron Shire, Ballina Shire, City of Lismore, Richmond Valley and Glen Innes Severn Shire. - Number of people allowed in outdoor venues with a COVID Safe Plan or Checklist increased from one per 4 square meters to one per 2 square meters (e.g. outdoor dining, beer gardens, theme parks and zoos) - Maximum number of people permitted at outdoor events with a COVID Safe Event Checklist increased from 500 to 1,000.
