Precautions to take while going for dining in Gold Coast Bar nowadays

 

When you go dining at a Gold Coast bar there are a few precautions you should take because of the COVID-9 pandemic. In the last few days the Queensland government has eased many of the restrictions for socialising and going out to restaurants and bars.

The government has modified its policies and restrictions to enable business’s to reopen and operate responsibly and increase their business activities without compromising the health of the general public, customers or their staff.

All establishments are required to operate under the approved COVID-19 Safe Industry Plan and comply with the provisions in the COVID safe checklist

These are some of the precautions you should take when dining out:

Try and choose a bar with an abundance of outdoor seating or plan to dine during the cooler times of the day

  • Ensure your own personal hygiene by regularly washing your hands with plenty of soap and water
  • Many areas in bars and restaurants are likely to be contaminated so there should be staff who are regularly sanitising these areas including door handles, rails, counters, taps and touch screens
  • If they are available, use disinfecting wipes (or bring your own) on all touchpads, buttons and handles before you touch them and dispose of the wipes responsibly in a bin
  • Use hand sanitiser with at least 65% alcohol content regularly and look for signs that the catering staff are also using hand sanitiser regularly
  • Try and use touch-free menus or check the establishment’s website and make your menu choices before you arrive, this can even be done when making your booking
  • Many establishments now use doorless bathrooms where screens are placed so you can avoid touching many surfaces
  • Sanitise your hands after handling money or using keypads
  • Use tap and pay or swipe credit or debit cards to make payments if possible

Observe social distancing by staying at least 1.5 meters from anyone who is not in your immediate group

Customer Limits

All businesses including clubs, bars and restaurants in a public floor area of less than 200 square meters are allowed to accommodate one person for every square meter up to a maximum or 50 people. For venues with more than 200 square meters of public floor space they are allowed one person for every four square meters of floor space

For outdoor venues, the rule is for one person for every two square meters of space

All customers and staff should stay at least 1.5 meters apart unless they belong to the same social group.

Outdoor venues are those that are not fully enclosed are open to the elements and have a natural airflow

Provide Your Information

In almost all establishments you are required to provide your personal information to allow authorities to trace or contact you in the case of a COVID -19 infectious breach, information such as:

  • Your full name
  • Your email or residential address
  • Your phone numbers
  • The time and date you entered and the time you leave the premises

The precautions everyone should now take when visiting a Gold Coast Bar include good personal hygiene and practising social distancing. Check the bars, website and make a menu choice when booking your table and pay using your credit card.
