It's the second day in a row there have been no new cases.
Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk said 3000 people were in home quarantine with 9000 tests and 6000 vaccines administered on Sunday and an extra 136,000 doses of Pfizer provided by the federal government.
Ms Palaszczuk is still encouraging people not to travel, with grave concerns over the extent of the New South Wales outbreak and the virus crossing the border.
"We will take every precaution we can," she said.
"We don't know where the next outbreak is coming from, so we need to keep doing everything we are doing."
Chief Health Officer Dr Jeannette Young said it has been 10 days since there was a case infectious in the community but encouraged South East Queenslanders to continue wearing masks until next Sunday.
"We know the (NSW outbreak) will continue to creep towards our border," Dr Young said.
"Think hard before you cross the border, and only do it if it is absolutely necessary."
