Queensland Chief Health Officer Jeanette Young is “genuinely hopeful” the state has dodged a serious covid outbreak, but warns the threat has not passed.
On September fifth, two members of a trio who had travelled from New South Wales tested positive and stayed in Queensland for two days.
Dr Young says “...so from today, we’re mandating it and everyone will have to have had their first dose by the 30th of September and be fully vaccinated by the end of October.
