MASK WEARING AT TCC
As covid and flu infections continue to increase within the community we're encouraged to play our part in helping to prevent the spread by following the recommendations from Queensland Health: wearing a mask indoors when social distancing isn't possible, hand washing/sanitising and general hygiene will help create a safer environment for us all. We ask you to consider these recommendations.
