Queensland has recorded zero new cases of COVID-19 in the past 24 hours, as restrictions along the New South Wales border are set to be tightened. 9News

Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk congratulated the state on "double doughnut day" before noting she would not apologise for strict restrictions "protecting Queenslanders".

"NSW has issued the order to stay at home ... as Dr Young has said very clearly, it only takes one person to bring the virus into Queensland," Ms Palaszczuk said. Ms Palaszczuk said 1800 people are currently in home quarantine and more than 14,300 tests were conducted in the past 24 hours.

Farmers, truckies call for rapid antigen tests to fix NSW border bottleneckQueensland's freight and agriculture industries are pushing for faster tests in a bid to cut out costly delays on the border. Hmmm rapid antigens are ok for Europe, USA and Israel but not for oz ? There must be some interests somewhere. They say follow the money to get the answer. except in the UK they are finding 50% of positive cases where recording false negatives on self administered RA tests no what needs to happen is NSW needs to provide medi hotels to essential workers & break chain of transmission & stop killing ppl to encourage vaccination 80% of the people who contract covid their immune system kills the virus and they are never aware they have covid unless they develop a runnny nose and go and take a covid test. How on earth can they control that. A antigen test would be great to find who's had covid.

Meanwhile, a new cluster in New Zealand is casting doubt over Perth’s Bledisloe Cup match. Heather_WAtoday What's the difference? Heather_WAtoday What a princess. Heather_WAtoday I reckon Western Australia should build a dome above the whole state so they can be absolutely protected.
