New COVID-19 cases in Brisbane haven't sparked lockdown - yet

The Queensland government says it's not planning to shift this Sunday's N-R-L grand final to Townsville after community outbreaks of COVID-19 in Brisbane. The state has recorded four new locally acquired cases but is not going into lockdown at this stage.

Queensland health officials say they expect a rise in cases over the next few days after a COVID-positive truck driver was infectious in the community.   The driver stayed at two hotels and a boarding house in Brisbane over eight days.  He is one of four new locally-acquired cases of COVID-19 in Brisbane. Masks are now mandatory indoors for people in the Brisbane and Moreton local government areas and in the outdoors when they can't socially distance.
