Chief Health Officer Dr Jeanette Young says while the figures are positive, it's still too early to say whether southeast Queensland's lockdown can lift on Sunday.

Queensland has recorded 10 new locally acquired COVID-19 cases, all household contacts linked to the Indooroopilly cluster, which now stands at 89.

Two were infectious in the community for one day, and that was during the southeast Queensland lockdown, Deputy Queensland Premier Steven Miles said.

"Five cases are household contact of Ironside state school cases, three are household contacts of Indooroopilly State High School, two are household contacts of Brisbane boys Grammar School cases," Mr Miles said.

Of the new cases, five are children.

Mr Miles described those staying at home as "lockdown legends", but added it was too early to say whether the lockdown could be eased on Sunday.

"I've never been more proud to be a Queenslander than I am when I see these fantastic results. All the indications are that it is working, we just need to keep it up," he said.

"It is too soon to say what will happen over the next few days and whether we will be able to ease restrictions on Sunday."

Queensland's Chief Health Officer Dr Jeanette Young described the day's caseload as "very encouraging" and urged continued compliance with lockdown restrictions.

"We've seen what's happened in other states, we know that the Delta variant is a completely different variant to the ones we were dealing with last year," she said.

"We can't use the same strategies we used last year, we have really got to ramp them up."

Dr Young said she won't make a decision about easing lockdown restrictions until seeing the virus case numbers this Sunday.

Queensland recorded more than 48,000 tests in the last 24 hours.

COVID-19 vaccinations will be offered in 113 metropolitan community pharmacies in southeast Queensland from Friday.

With this latest group joining the state-wide rollout, there are now more than 330 community pharmacies delivering COVID-19 vaccinations to Queenslanders.

Queensland Health Minister Yvette D'Ath urged Queenslanders to get vaccinated.

"It is wonderful to keep hearing news that our GPs are seeing a surge in people wanting to come forward and talk to their GPs about getting vaccinated and we strongly encourage them to do that," she said.

As of Friday, 38.19 per cent of Queenslanders eligible for vaccination have had their first dose. Almost 20 per cent are fully vaccinated.
