Queensland has recorded just one local case of Covid-19 on Thursday as Brisbane s snap three-day lockdown is lifted hours before the Easter holiday weekend begins.
Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk said 10 cases were recorded state-wide overnight, but all but one of them were found in hotel quarantine.
The one local case went to the same bachelorette party in Byron Bay as a nurse who was infected with coronavirus while working in the Covid-19 ward at Brisbane s Princes Alexandra Hospital.
Ms Palaszczuk said restaurants and cafes in the city can fully re-open as of 12pm on Thursday, but customers throughout Queensland must remain seated.
