Queensland is suffering through its biggest coronavirus outbreak since the first wave hit last year, with 17 new local cases reported on Wednesday and next week’s Ekka public holiday cancelled in Brisbane.
And with people seen shopping for non-essential goods such as outdoor furniture, Chief Health Officer Jeannette Young has warned people to stay home otherwise the lockdown will be extended longer than Sunday.
Deputy Premier Steven Miles said 16 new cases were linked to the Indooroopilly Delta cluster that plunged south-east Queensland into an eight-day lockdown.

Chief Health Health Officer Jeannette Young said there s still hope the lockdown could end at 4pm on Sunday.
The aim of the lockdown isn t to eradicate the cluster, she said, but keep the number of people infectious in the community down. It doesn t matter (if) we ve had those cases because they re in quarantine, so it won t stop us lifting the restrictions on Sunday, she said. So please, everyone just think of what you can do in the next few days so we can lift this and we can beat all their predictions about how long it takes to get such a large cluster under control.
