Queensland has recorded zero locally acquired cases of COVID-19, with just one case detected in hotel quarantine.
It comes after a passenger who flew into Queensland without a valid border pass tested positive for COVID-19 on Saturday.
Queensland Health announced the Brisbane Airport as a close contact site over the weekend, after a person from New South Wales landed at the domestic terminal on Saturday morning.
"They're no risk to the community here, but the airport itself is an exposure site around that gate," Health Minister Yvette D'Ath said.
Queensland has not recorded a locally acquired cases since October 5, with parts of the state's south-east and Townsville easing some restrictions last Friday.
There have been 6,825 COVID tests over the past 24 hours, with 21,712 vaccines administered yesterday, meaning Queensland will today pass the 70 per cent mark for people who have received their first jab.
"Time is up no more waiting, you need to get vaccinated now," Ms D'Ath said.
Chief Health Officer Jeannette Young said it was a great weekend for vaccination, with 18 schools opening as pop-up sites where more than 4,000 people received a COVID jab.
"There are so many places you can get vaccinated today," Dr Young said.
More to come.
