Queensland chief health officer Jeannette Young remains concerned about the origins of the outbreak:

“I’m concerned that we don’t know how this outbreak has happened”.

“We know the very first two cases that arrived in Queensland on 29 June, but I don’t know how it’s got from either of those two people to the first family in that Indooroopilly area.”

At this state, South East Queensland’s lockdown is scheduled to end at 4pm Sunday.
