Hotel Industry COVID Safe Plan
QHA is working with OLGR, Clubs Queensland, RSL’s Queensland and Queensland Health to revise and update the Industry COVID Safe Plan for Queensland Hotels, Clubs, Nightclubs and Adult Entertainment.
The intention is to simplify and ‘future-proof’ the Plan by removing prescriptiveness and unnecessary repetition. Once the Plan has been updated and approved, venues will be notified.
