Queensland recorded no new locally acquired coronavirus cases during the 24 hours to Sunday morning, Health Minister Yvette D’Ath reported.
But the state did record one new case in hotel quarantine – a traveller who acquired the virus in Pakistan, according to Deputy Chief Health Officer Dr Sonya Bennett.
Health Minister Yvette D’Ath described Sunday’s zero new community cases as “wonderful”.
After further virus patients were discharged from the state’s hospitals overnight, the number of active cases in Queensland dropped to 72 on Sunday.
“[There were] no new locally acquired community cases, which is wonderful,” Ms D’Ath said. “We had 14,011 tests on Easter Saturday.
“Thank you to all those people who are still coming out and getting tested.

“The clinics are still open today and tomorrow, so if you are feeling unwell, please go get your test, then stay home and wait for your results.”
On Good Friday, almost 26,000 tests were completed. This followed daily COVID-19 testing rates of between 33,000 and 36,000 during the previous three days, when Brisbane was in lockdown.
Dr Bennett said she was confident most of the high-risk close contacts of confirmed cases involved in the current Brisbane outbreak had been tested and isolated.
