Queensland health staff will screen airline passengers flying in to Townsville for a major boxing fight to help stop any spread of COVID-19 from a potential outbreak around Brisbane.
"It is very important that no-one goes to the Jeff Horn fight if you have any symptoms," Ms Palaszczuk said.Queensland's Chief Health Officer Dr Jeanette Young has put the focus back on genomic testing this morning by confirming coronavirus cases found in a Brisbane detention centre are the same viral strain as cases contracted in Melbourne.
"It looks like this cluster has the same viral strain as one of the young women who went down to Melbourne," Dr Young said. Reason Party leader Fiona Patten says the Premier will have to compromise to get state of emergency legislation through the upper house.Mr Andrews needs the support of at least four crossbench MPs to extend the state of emergency by 12 months."This sets in stone the ability for a government to call a state of emergency for 18 months, 18 months," she said.
"But it also means that you can be detained without charge. They could close down the courts, they could close down the Parliament. At the moment, the Chief Health Officer's advice is for regional members not to attend Parliament, so it does have extraordinary powers.""If there was some reworking of this ... then you might bring the crossbenchers to the table, but at the moment they're not there," she said.
Those who question seriousness of infection could work in COVID wards and help find themselves the seriousness instead criticising Govt. which is trying to manage the pandemic started due to failure of border control! Did someone say Border control is Federal responsibility!!!
DanielAndrewsMP the focus now is to FlattenTheCurve with your hardworking team JennyMikakos JillHennessyMP and get everyone unlocked. That will provide hope to Victorians as they are hard working.
Where is the hospital information . Cases mean nothing . Admission to hospital should be the main focus . What is happening there ? Hospitals overwhelmed or just doing their job as per usual ?
Do your homework DanielAndrewsMP you are on the wrong plan.

At this rate, we might be down to double digits by the end of September and single digits by November. How about telling us which industries or groups the positive cases are in, and shutting those down too, so we can get over this more quickly
Challenge him, or be slaves to his dictatorship. Your choice. He’s only getting away with this because you are letting him.
Over 400 hundred dead in less than 2 months........All about ego and power for Dandemic Dan.
With such low death figures surely we can ascertain if the deaths were actually caused by respiratory issues or otherwise from COVID or from the fact that most of these people are over 85 in aged care homes and with comorbidities?
And the legacy of this shit Andrews government continues.
How about questioning the narrative instead of just reporting the bullshit?
Sadly, politicians not considering the damage that restriction cause in young people: from age 5 to 35 yo's social interaction is vital for their mental health and development. We cannot have 12 months of restrictions, it will hurt more than the virus auspol
I can’t wait for the numbers to be exactly what they wanted at the end of 6 wks so they can prove their lockdown and masks etc were the perfect foil for the pandemic. Predictable much 🤷♂️
Andrews wants to stall the economy of the state dragging down with it the economy of the country. Queensland is in the same page. They are sabotaging a recovery to create a depression that they think will give Labor/Greens an edge at the next election. auspol
Look at the face ! This guy is a few chops short of a barbeque.
We all die, whether we get this damn virus or not, open up the state now! The mental health of people is more important.
Such small numbers.

What an ugly grub.
Scare mongering hysteria! '...another eight people have died of the virus in the past day.' Not true. Another eight people have died WITH the virus in the past day. The average age of those who died higher than the average life expectancy.
