Queensland records another 15 deaths with COVID-19, all of them people aged from their 60s to their 90s.

"I don't want to jump the gun. I don't want to jinx us," the Chief Health Officer said.

"But certainly, what we're seeing is very positive here and I think I can say the reason for this is very straightforward. It's widescale vaccination. "There is no jurisdiction in the world that has done as well as Queensland so far. But it's not over yet.""It's still not totally clear how the tail of this pandemic will play out," he said."It's still not totally clear whether there'll be further waves, particularly going into the winter, but as we pass this peak we are going to be regrouping rethinking thinking of strategy, both at this level and national level.

"Before the kids go back to school, the plan will be released, so the parents will be able to know how we're going to manage any outbreaks within the schools," she said.This age group is under 70 per cent double vaccinated.
