Queensland's COVID-19 Vaccine Plan
In welcomed news for the Gold Coast, the Queensland Government yesterday (18 October) released Queensland's COVID-19 Vaccine Plan outlining key milestones for borders to re-open to interstate hotspots. Travel restrictions will ease when 70% and 80% of eligible Queenslanders are fully vaccinated.
At 70% vaccination target (19 November)
- Anyone who has been in a domestic hotspot can travel into Queensland provided they are fully vaccinated, arrive by air, have had a negative COVID-19 test in the previous 72 hours and undertake home quarantine for 14 days.
At 80% vaccination target (17 December)
- Travellers from an interstate hotspot can arrive by road or air, must be fully vaccinated, have had a negative COVID-19 test in the previous 72 hours. Quarantine will not be required.
- Direct international arrivals can undertake home quarantine if they are fully vaccinated and have had a negative COVID-19 test in the previous 72 hours.
90% vaccination target
- No entry restrictions or quarantine for vaccinated arrivals from interstate or overseas.
The Queensland Government has indicated that if these vaccination targets are met sooner, then the projected time frames of 19 November 19 and 17 December will be brought forward. Click here to view Queensland's COVID-19 Vaccine Plan for domestic and international travel.
