Website of the YearQueensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk has announced an end to Greater Brisbane's lockdown after three consecutive days of zero cases.
However, masks will remain mandatory for at least the next 10 days.
"They are sensible, they are very logical, and they are needed for the next 10 days," the premier said.
"This is on the advice of Dr Young, because we want to make sure that that incubation period, that 14 days, has totally lapsed before we return back to normal."
