Mayor in talks on possible Mackay Whitsunday quarantine hub

Premium Content Subscriber only Mayor Greg Williamson is in talks about a potential quarantine hub in the Mackay Whitsunday region to deliver desperately needed fruit pickers from overseas to work on farms. Cr Williamson held a meeting with Whitsunday, Townsville and Cairns mayors on Monday to discuss the issue, with talks ongoing. “All of the mayors – Whitsunday, Townsville and Cairns – we’re all concerned about making sure that we have enough facilities available, particularly in North Queensland, to get us through this hump,” he said. “Because tomatoes, capsicum – all those things will be very expensive if we can’t get them off the fields.”

What Mackay residents need to know about the flu jab

Premium Content Subscriber only Mackay residents are being urged to protect themselves this flu season and not get complacent after last year’s plummeting flu cases. Northern Queensland Primary Health Network chief executive Robin Whyte said with the COVID-19 jab also available, it was important for people to speak to their vaccination provider to manage the timing of both vaccines. “During much of the flu season last year, we were all protecting ourselves against COVID-19 by staying home, socially distancing where possible, and practising increased hygiene and handwashing,” Ms Whyte said. “These behaviours helped to stop the spread of not only COVID-19, but also flu viruses in the community, with a 90.7 per cent decrease in lab confirmed influenza cases in the Mackay Hospital and Health Service region in 2020, compared with the previous year.
