A Logan councillor is urging people not to panic over directions which apply to aged care homes in the district.
Chief Health Officer Jeanette Young invoked emergency powers to cut visits to aged care homes in the Metro South and West Moreton regions in the wake of the public health emergency after three women returned to Queensland after visiting Melbourne and Sydney.
Division 9 councillor Scott Bannan said people had mistaken the information from authorities.
"We're not in lockdown. Don't go into panic mode," Cr Bannan said.
"If people start thinking we're in lock down, its only going to hurt business and the community further."
