Density and physical distancing requirements

What are the latest requirements at UQ (between 6pm, 11 January, and 1am, 22 January, 2021)?

Offices and other indoor work spaces at UQ return to a density maximum of one person per four square metres, and to one person per two square metres in outdoor settings.
Learning and teaching activities involving fewer than 100 people are exempt from these density requirements but physical distancing of 1.5 metres is required to the extent possible.
For indoor learning, teaching, office and other work spaces where 1.5 metres physical distancing is not possible, you must wear your mask.

Does the 'one person per four square metre' rule apply to UQ shared office spaces?

Physical distancing is not always possible in my work environment - what should managers do?

A 2020 analysis confirmed that most UQ work spaces meet 1.5 metre physical distancing requirements. Find your work area's dimensions and layout by logging on to ARCHIBUS, or contact P&F Space Manager Barbara Robinson.

If 1.5m physical distancing cannot be maintained in a work area, staff in that area must wear a mask.

UQ acknowledges that some people may find it uncomfortable or distracting to wear a mask for extended periods. Accordingly, staff should take regular work breaks to remove their mask, as appropriate.

Supervisors may consider temporarily relocating a work place on campus, or a short-term, limited work-from-home roster that allows physical distancing on site for the majority of the team.
