Queensland records another day of zero new coronavirus cases as authorities brace for congestion at the state's border checkpoints with the long weekend drawing to a close.
"So well done and I'm quite sure families right throughout Queensland are going to be very happy with that result."
Speaking on ABC Radio Brisbane, Chief Superintendent Mark Wheeler said traffic had been "flowing very well" at the Queensland-New South Wales checkpoint but delays were expected this afternoon. Chief Superintendent Wheeler said many people took advantage of the border zone extension into parts of northern New South Wales last Thursday."There were larger than normal numbers and we did experience peak delays of up to about 40 minutes," he said.
