Six new locally acquired Covid-19 cases were recorded in Queensland on Friday, following seven cases the day before, but the good news is none of them were infectious while in the community.
There was also one infection reported in returned travellers.
The new cases brought the state's total number of active cases to 165.
Queensland's main concern continues to be the out-of-control situation across the border in New South Wales with Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk saying NSW must outline a clear plan as to how it will manage the outbreak.
Queensland also announced new health orders for anyone who has been to the ACT which is now in quarantine.
Anyone who's returned to Queensland but was in the ACT on or after August 9 must immediately go into home quarantine and get tested.
Anyone arriving from the ACT after 1am on Saturday will have to spend a fortnight in hotel quarantine.
