Queensland's Health Minister axes the requirement for travellers to get a PCR test on their fifth day in the state, with anyone currently lining up for the test told they can leave.
Queensland has axed the requirement for travellers to get a PCR test on their fifth day in the state, with anyone currently lining up for the test told they can leave.
"Based on the data we now have of our first week, full week of testing, I welcome the advice of the chief doctor so that we can move away from that test." "That's extraordinary. That is almost 10 per cent of the Queensland population coming to Queensland or wanting to come to Queensland in just two weeks," she said.
