Queensland will further tighten its border with NSW as it relaxes internal COVID-19 restrictions after recording no new cases of the virus.
Queensland has recorded one locally acquired case in the past four days, with Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk saying social distancing restrictions and an outdoor face mask mandate can ease from 4pm on Friday.
"We have some good news for Queenslanders and I really want to thank everybody for doing the right thing and today we have zero community cases in Queensland, so well done Queensland. Fantastic job," she told reporters on Wednesday.
The premier says an outdoor face mask mandate will end at 4pm on Friday, but masks will need to continue being worn indoors.
"So this is really important, this is our added protection against the Delta variant, and I think it's a small price to pay for some easing our restrictions," Ms Palaszczuk said.
Up to 30 people will be allowed to gather at private homes and 100 people will be allowed at weddings and funerals.
Indoor events and stadiums with ticketed seating will be allowed to operate at 75 per cent capacity and community sport will be allowed to restart.
Social distancing rules in cafes and restaurants will be reviewed next week.
However, Ms Palaszczuk says the NSW border will be tightened after the southern state recorded 633 new locally acquired cases on Wednesday.
Only police, health workers and construction workers who have had one dose of a vaccine are allowed to cross into Queensland.
"There are too many people crossing the border, so that means we want to put even tighter restrictions on our border," Ms Palaszczuk said.
"It only takes one person crossing the border with Delta and we're into a lockdown.
"Now I don't want that and I know Queenslanders don't want that."
Chief Health Officer Jeannette Young says there will be a widespread review later this week of which workers who live in NSW are really "essential" for Queensland.
The director-general of the premier's department Rachel Hunter will conduct the review.
Dr Young says the review will be completed later this week and new border restrictions will come into effect next week.
Deputy Police Commissioner Steve Gollschewski said 5700 vehicles were intercepted at the borders on Tuesday, down from 7700 on Monday.
He said 513 cars were turned back to NSW on Tuesday, down from 1090 on Monday.
Mr Gollschewski said police would not stop the "very rigid application" of public health orders.
"We're hearing lots of sad stories around how this impacts on people. I'm terribly sorry about that; we are going to continue to do that," he said.
"You must meet the requirements to enter the state or you're simply not entering."
