Annastacia Palaszczuk has been spotted posing for a photo with a punter minus a face mask - despite Queensland's strict rules about the essential attire.

The unexpected incident unfolded at the Caloundra Cup race meeting on Sunday, with the premier quickly adjusting her protective mask seconds after the happy snap.

Masks are currently mandatory for Queenslanders who have been in areas with Covid cases, such as Brisbane, at all times when out of the home.

The only exceptions are when a person is are alone in their car or with members of their household, when eating or drinking or when are alone outdoors or with members of their household. 

But a Queensland Health spokesman said Ms Palaszczuk will escape the possibility of a fine as having a photo doesn't require a mask -  as it is deemed a 'low risk' exercise. 

'You can stand to have a photo and be close together,' the spokesperson said.

'That risk is low.'
