Could Townsville Be Subjected To Covid Restrictions?

Townsville was on the verge of facing heavier restrictions after a Sunshine Coast woman tested positive to the Delta variant of Covid-19.

A raft of restrictions were re-introduced across eleven south-east Queensland council areas on Monday after two locally acquired cases were detected across the state.

Set to remain until July 13^th, residents in the zones, which included Brisbane, the Sunshine Coast and the Gold Coast, were subjected to a plethora of restrictions, including the wearing of masks at all times when indoors and adhering to limited gathering capacities.

While the rules didn’t originally apply to Townsville, local officials made a point of clarifying that anyone who arrived in the city from the south would still have to wear a face covering.
