Queensland has reported no new local coronavirus cases overnight after a woman visited several locations around the Sunshine Coast while infected.
One new case was reported in a returned overseas traveller and 12,876 tests were conducted over the past 24 hours.
Health authorities were bracing for more local infections after it was confirmed a fully vaccinated woman was infectious in the community between July 15 and 17.

NSW recorded 78 new locally acquired cases of Covid-19 in the 24 hours to 8pm yesterday, with Premier Gladys Berejiklian saying 21 were infectious while in the community and eight were in isolation for part of their infectious period.
The isolation status of 12 cases remains under investigation.
Some 63,000 tests were done in the past day and they picked up cases in people who were not symptomatic, something the premier said was good news.
However, NSW Police Deputy Commissioner Gary Worboys said officers yesterday busted an office party after stumbling across a gathering while patrolling George Street in Sydney CBD.
Areas of concern are within the Sunshine Coast.
The woman had been fully vaccinated against COVID-19 with the Pfizer jab, he said.
There are now 36 active cases in Queensland.
Queensland Chief Health Officer Dr Jeannette Young says a woman in her 20s was out and about in the community while infectious for three days, putting potentially thousands of people at risk.
