Queensland records zero coronavirus cases overnight, leaving the state's total number of cases at 1,106. More than 8,000 tests were conducted in the past 24 hours.
"That strain, the B1125 strain, is the most common strain currently circulating in Victoria, therefore there could be other sources of that strain here," Mr Miles said.Mr Miles said although no new cases was good news, Queensland still had a "long way to go before we know we have controlled this possible outbreak".Dr Young said the case linking the two clusters had not yet been identified.
She said it was important testing levels were ramped up to ensure every possible case of COVID-19 was found to stop the potential for another outbreak in the future."It's still really important that anyone with any symptoms at all comes forward and gets tested."
