Queensland has recorded five new cases of Covid-19 overnight and the lockdown in Brisbane and Moreton Bay will continue for another 24 hours, but it will be lifted in other areas including Townsville.
Three of the cases are in the community – one linked to the partner of a check-in worker at the international airport; a further two cases are in hotel quarantine.
The Premier says the other two community cases are of concern as they’re unlinked to any existing clusters – they’re a mother and a daughter in Brisbane who’d been in multiple locations.
