Another three people have been caught trying to dodge quarantine in Queensland after travelling to a Melbourne coronavirus hotspot over the weekend.

The trio failed to declare they had been to the hot spot when they crossed into the state by road at Coolangatta, near the NSW border, on Sunday after making their way from Victoria.

The men, from Logan south of Brisbane, are currently in hotel quarantine and awaiting their COVID-19 test results.

Queensland state Disaster Co-ordinator and Deputy Commissioner Steve Gollschewski said the men were carrying passes stating they had not been to a hotspot.

"One of those persons has been tested, yesterday, which exposed they had been in the Victorian area."

All three have been issued with court notices and investigations are ongoing.
