Queenslanders will no longer be required to wear face masks on public transport, taxis and ride-shares from Wednesday due to a significant decline in Covid case numbers.
Health Minister Yvette D’Ath announced on Tuesday that the changes coming into effect from September 21 will bring the state into line with all other jurisdictions bar Victoria.
“Queensland will be doing this as well, from midnight tonight,” Ms D’Ath said.
“That means the staff and patrons on public transport will no longer be required under a public health directive to be wearing masks.”- Health Minister Yvette D’Ath
