Businesses in Brisbane and Moreton Bay will remain in lockdown for another 24 hours, while the Northern Territory lockdown will end today and an announcement will be made soon about the lockdown in Western Australia.
Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk said on Friday morning the extension following the detection of three more cases of community transmission in Queensland on Thursday.
However, the three-day lockdown will end at 6pm on Friday evening for other parts of Queensland, including Noosa, the Sunshine Coast, Ipswich, Logan, Redlands, Gold Coast, Lockyer Valley, Scenic Rim, Somerset, Palm Island and Townsville.

Several months after launching quarantine-free flights to Sydney and Melbourne, New Zealandâs national carrier has just done the same for Brisbane. Flight NZ147 departed Auckland at 7:40 a.m. yesterday, with all passengers aboard exempt from mandatory self-isolation in Queensland. Those looking to board these flights are required to complete the Australia Travel Declaration form at least 72 hours before departure, stating that they have remained in New Zealand for at least 14 consecutive days preceding the trip. The declaration must be presented when boarding and also on arrival in Australia.
