No new cases of coronavirus recorded in Queensland as aged care restrictions eased in some regions
Restrictions on gatherings and visitor bans at aged care homes have been lifted in some parts of Queensland after another day of zero new coronavirus cases.
Health Minister Steven Miles said the easing of restrictions applied for the Darling Downs, west of Brisbane, and the Gold Coast health areas.Furthermore, an order for mandatory extra personal protection equipment in hospitals in those areas has also been lifted, but hospitals may still opt for increased measures.
Strict coronavirus measures — restricting gatherings to 10 people and limiting aged care visits — remain in place for the Greater Brisbane area. Mr Miles said another day of zero new cases meant the state had gone four days without a case connected to the recent COVID clusters in the south east."In my briefing this morning with the Chief Health Officer she indicated she had received further genome sequencing of all of the cases related to the Brisbane Youth Detention Centre, West Moreton Health Service and the Correctional Academy, and that all of them are confirmed to be very, very closely related.
