Queensland records one new case of coronavirus

The latest Queensland coronavirus case is an overseas arrival.

Queensland has recorded one new case of coronavirus overnight taking the state's total to 1,150 since the beginning of the pandemic.

Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk said the new case is an overseas arrival who is already in quarantine.

It is the third consecutive day that Queensland has recorded no new cases outside of hotel quarantine.

Yesterday Chief Health Officer Jeannette Young said there needed to be 14 consecutive days of no new cases outside of hotel quarantine before Queensland would ease restrictions.

There are now 31 active cases in Queensland after 4,933 tests were conducted in the last day.

At least 24 of those cases are located in Ipswich and Brisbane's south-western suburbs.

As a result, additional testing resources have been deployed to those areas.

It comes as Queensland Health added three more suburbs to its list of places undergoing contact tracing after a patient who tested positive to coronavirus visited the areas.

The suburbs include Goodna, Redbank and Redbank Plains.

Anyone who has visited those suburbs in the past 14 days are urged to monitor their health and immediately get tested if they develop COVID-19 symptoms.

The locations on the public health alert list are removed after a fortnight.

The most recent locations added include the Hungry Jack's at Redbank Plains Shopping Centre and two shops in Westfield Garden City.
