Queenslanders are being told they could bring an end to the current coronavirus lockdown scheduled to end at 4pm Sunday by coming forward, and getting tested. 

But the easing of restrictions also depends on how many new cases the state records today.

It comes as Queensland hospitals are filled with dozens of sick children infected with the Delta variant.

Yesterday the state recorded 16 new locally required cases, with more than a dozen new exposure sites in Brisbane and Cairns. 

With locked down parts of the state now halfway into the proposed timeline for restrictions, the risk of an extension on Sunday is growing.
