They should be fine. We're going up on Monday. Nil cases in Qld today.

Isolation at home or hotel quarantine?

Yes, I should have just said quarantine as it seems to vary.
I may depend on if they were at an exposure site at the same time as positive people, or were at the site at a different time.

Just read the Qld covid info site, the only check points are at airports. Police are doing random car checks [ ie any one with a Vic licence plate is being pulled over.] So far 3,343 cars have been checked, fines of over $4,000 have been issued, and the checking is on going. ABC News;

EDIT. QLD Health Minister Said " Either someone will be picking up the phone and telling us, or the Police will be doing intercepts and find you."

Mick, if so, is that quarantine paid by the Government? It would have to be, you would think, but who knows now days.

This is how you qualify for an exemption to leave a COVID hot spot. You can not enter Qld from a hotspot without an exemption, or if you are a returning Qlder. Travel exemptions are possible, but only for specific reasons , and may still require quarantine.

As far as I am concerned if it can be proven that these people have done the wrong thing they should be held responsible for all costs to business deep cleaning & lost sales / public that have to go into quarantine Accom & lost wages due to there stupidity . Then they may think twice about doing the wrong thing. Just giving them a $4000 fine isn't working , whack them with a hefty bill then they may think twice. Unfortunately the Qld Gov is just as much to blame they should have had people protecting all the border crossings.
That is just my tilt on this , I know others will disagree.

In the highly unlikely event that I would take issue with Tombie's advice, I wouldn't have a snipe at him. I know he was only joking and so was I.
