Booze bus-style police checkpoints will be set up across south-east Queensland to enforce the region s lockdown as the state s Covid-19 outbreak continues to grow.
Queensland Police said the checkpoints would appear randomly in Brisbane and the Gold Coast to catch anyone breaking strict stay-at-home orders.
The state recorded another 16 cases of the virus on Tuesday as 11 local government areas endure a snap seven-day lockdown to slow the spread of the highly-contagious Delta variant.
Residents in those LGAs can only go out if they have an essential reason and must not travel more than 10km for exercise.
