Logan City residents have the freedom to gather in groups of 30 people again, with the latest restrictions easing.
The restrictions were reinstated when a second wave Covid-19 outbreak was triggered by two women from Logan and Acacia Ridge.
The official word comes from Health Minister Steven Miles who said Thursday, Logan City had hit a milestone, after 14 days of no new cases linked to the Wacol Youth Detention Centre, the Corrections Training Academy, and Park Ridge outbreaks.
Logan City residents will also be allowed to visit aged care homes and hospitals in Logan and across Brisbane, Ipswich, and Redlands.
Mr Miles said Chief Health Officer Jeannette Young was confident the outbreak at the Youth Detention Centre was directly linked to at least one of the women who crossed into Queensland after being in Melbourne.
“That just gives you a sense of how one person can trigger a chain of events and lots and lots of cases and put lots of people’s lives out and cause great inconvenience while we get back on top of things,” he said.
“We are really fortunate that we have been able to limit those clusters as far as we have.
“Now that it’s been 14 days since any of those cases were infectious in the community we think it is most likely that those clusters are under control.”
