Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk said neither of the new cases were "of concern" to authorities worried about the potential spread of the virus in the wider community.
One case was a three-year-old girl linked to the state's recent aviation cluster and has been in home quarantine. The second case was a 19-year-old woman travelling home from Victoria, and was only infectious on a flight before being intercepted on arrival into Queensland.Queensland's Chief Health Officer Jeannette Young also said she was not "too concerned" about the new cases but wanted to see more testing of anybody with symptoms.
"She received notification on the plane, on the flight up from Melbourne, that she was a positive confirmed case, and we were notified as well so we met her at the airport, and immediately transferred her to Royal Brisbane hospital for ongoing care, so she's not a risk to anyone," Dr Young said.All travellers on the flight from Melbourne were already required to quarantine but contact tracers will notify people who sat near her on the plane.
"Just in case people are interested, that was flight JQ 562 from Melbourne yesterday," Dr Young said.There were 1,690 tests conducted in the past 24 hours.Space to play or pause, M to mute, left and right arrows to seek, up and down arrows for volume.Outbreak: How Australia lost control of the Delta variant
