The Queensland government will be greatly expanding its COVID check-in app requirements to encompass almost all sectors of society, including shopping centres, supermarkets, universities, libraries, and places of worship.

“This app is all about keeping Queenslanders safe and helping our contact tracers when there has been community transmission of COVID-19 in our community,” Queensland Minister for Health and Ambulance Services Yvette D’Ath said in a media release.
