Queensland will also lift its quota on international arrivals from 500 to 1,000 by 24 October with the government calling for expressions of interest from Brisbane and Cairns hotels to take returnees.Ms Palaszczuk says stories of Australians trapped overseas in places like Europe, where the virus is spreading, are heartbreaking.
