The rules for building works are that the house must be empty. With a Strata apartment it is empty but we have builders using the common parts causing extra Covid risk. It seems there is a big loophole in this area.
I agree. It’s not clearly defined by the DHHS. The best I can make of their guidance is that strata common areas should be treated like public areas. Meaning that persons including trades must wear masks when in those areas. Trades are certainly still allowed to access or cross common property areas if the work they are doing is permitted.
I think that without further clarification from the DHHS, you’d have a tough time convincing police or the COVID hotline that there is a breach. Hopefully you’ll get a response from them.
