Queensland has recorded five new COVID-19 cases overnight in returned international travellers, with all detected in hotel quarantine.
On Wednesday Deputy Premier Steven Miles said three of the people tested positive on day one of quarantine, which meant they were probably infectious on their flights, so other passengers were being monitored.
No locally acquired COVID cases were reported.
Queensland continues to leave the border open to regional NSW, although Mr Miles said the situation was being monitored closely.
“Pleasingly, the ongoing monitoring of sewage indicates that the outbreak there is largely contained to Greater Sydney, meaning that the restrictions in place in Greater Sydney mean that we don’t yet have to put in place greater border restrictions here,” he said.
News that Sian Kingi’s killer is seeking parole has been met with a disgust best demonstrated by the noose that greeted him when he first appeared outside a court. Anyone who has met Sian’s parents knows why.
