Because of our response and because Queenslanders have done so well, we can get back to work. In other parts of the world such as Paris and London, where they opened up too soon, they are having to reapply restrictions shutting down bars, restaurants and other businesses.
We want the economy to rebound NOT the Virus!
Our Chief Health Officer Dr Jeannette Young says coronavirus is not like the flu.
“It affects every single cell in the body, whether that be the heart, the kidneys, the brains, the lungs - it’s really important we minimise the number of people who get this disease.”
Queensland recorded zero cases again overnight, but it only takes one case to start a cluster.
That's why we're asking everyone to keep following the health advice and stay safe.
Wash your hands frequently, observe social distancing and, if you're unwell, stay home and arrange a COVID test immediately.
