Latest COVID update
Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk says the Queensland government is worried about the virus travelling further north from the outbreak in Sydney and Newcastle.
Ms Palaszczuk says those aged 16-59 should register to get their COVID-19 vaccine as the Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre becomes a mass vaccination clinic.
The taxi driver in Cairns is suspected of acquiring the virus from a passenger, a marine pilot who tested positive last week.
