Annastacia Palaszczuk has appeared to make a subtle dig at New South Wales by referring to the coronavirus cases in her state as the “Sydney strain”.
The Queensland premier faced the media on Friday to announce one new local case, that has been in quarantine at home.
“This was the family that came out of hotel quarantine in Sydney and flew to Queensland and it has been confirmed that it is that Delta strain, that Sydney strain that is circulating in Sydney at the moment,” she said.

Queensland is shutting its borders to Victoria from Saturday because of the growing outbreak there.
Queensland has again held off on declaring the whole of NSW a hotspot, instead keeping greater Sydney a hotspot.
Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk said the situation was moving rapidly, and she wished Victoria the best.
“Because of that lockdown, and the increase in the cases and restrictions there, we will be declaring Victoria a hotspot from 1am Saturday.
“And that means that anyone returning after that time, Queenslanders will have to do the 14 days mandatory quarantine.
