IN FULL: Parts of Queensland heading into three-day lockdown | ABC News

Queensland has recorded two locally acquired cases in the past 24 hours. One of the new cases is a young casual receptionist worker from the Prince Charles Hospital, who works near the COVID ward. She recently visited Magnetic Island in North Queensland and was not vaccinated.
