Following the Queensland Government’s directives for the Greater Brisbane Lockdown which commenced at 18h00 last night, Magic Millions have introduced protocols which applies to all visitors to the Magic Millions Sales Complex from Greater Brisbane.
A Queensland hotel quarantine cleaner who tested positive to the highly contagious UK strain of coronavirus had 79 close contacts and 689 ‘movements’ in the community while contagious — prompting authorities to enforce a three-day lockdown. Millions of people in Greater Brisbane are thus forced to stay home for the first time since April.
Essential sale participants who have been in Greater Brisbane (local government areas of Brisbane, Moreton Bay, Ipswich, Redlands and Logan) on or since 2 January will be permitted entrance onto the Magic Millions Sales Complex and will be required to wear a mask.
Upon entry to the complex, all visitors are required to use the dedicated contact tracing app to register and verify their eligibility to gain access.
Non-essential sale participants who have been in Greater Brisbane on or since 2 January are unfortunately not permitted entry to the complex at this time.
These measures are being taken to protect the industry and its participants. Magic Millions appreciates the cooperation of all industry enthusiasts.
Note: Essential sale participants include vendors and vendor staff, purchasers, trainers, bloodstock agents, syndicators and persons essential to the safe conduct of the sale.
