UPDATE: It comes as Queensland authorities work to trace the state’s newest cluster of Covid cases. Here's the latest:
The state recorded 10 new cases today – five children and five adults - all linked to the Indooroopilly cluster in Brisbane.More than 8500 people are in isolation as contact tracers continue to add venues of concern to Queensland Health’s list.
“We just have to find that first case, if we've got any new cluster happening, we need to know about it as soon as we possibly can. So that is critical. Queensland’s coronavirus numbers are finalised at 6am every morning with authorities usually scrambling for a few hours before their daily press conference at 10am.
“Please, everyone, just think what you could do to just stay at home for the next few days until Sunday because it would be really good if we could lift it,” Dr Young said. “Just think of what you can do in the next few days so we can lift this and we can beat all the predictions about how long it takes to get such a large cluster under control.”
