' There are reports unvaccinated people are holding gatherings to intentionally expose themselves to Covid-19 in the hope they will develop a natural immunity. 'The best way to get immunity to this virus is through vaccination not through Covid parties,' Gerrard said. 'They are ridiculous, so please stop them. Please stop'. Queensland recorded 20,566 new coronavirus cases with 502 patients in hospital.
