Queenslanders will also be able to visit loved ones in aged care and hospitals, while the cap on social gathering numbers will be increased.“That is fantastic news,” Ms Palaszczuk announced on Monday morning. “Pubs, clubs and cafes will be able to increase the number of customers from one per four square metres to three per four square metres.”From 6am on Friday, dancing at public venues will once again be allowed but private gatherings of more than 100 people in homes will require the host to take contact details of their guests.“We wanted to make sure we were giving businesses this timely advice so they can prepare, but we are going to be monitoring closely if there are further cases of community transmission,” the Premier said.“At this stage, fingers crossed. It is all looking terrific.”Ms Palaszczuk said “we haven’t had a case infectious in our community now since 5 July” but admitted health authorities were closely monitoring soaring case numbers in Sydney and were considering slamming the border closed to NSW entirely.“What we have seen is some other states and territories putting in place a hard border closure,” she said.“At this stage, Queensland is monitoring the situation in Greater Sydney and NSW very closely. “We have had extensive discussions this morning and we will be having those extensive discussions each and every day.”
