The other is a 19-year-old woman who arrived on a flight from Melbourne on Monday.
There were after 8690 tests in the past 24 hours. which Chief Health Officer Dr Jeannette Young says is not enough testing, despite Monday being a public holiday in Queensland.
"Neither of these two new cases I'm concerned but I would like to see more testing," Dr Young said.
There were 11500 vaccinations on Monday meaning 67.58% of eligible Queenslanders have had one 1 dose while 48.67% are fully vaccinated.
Dr Young said there were two clusters but she was confident the aviation cluster was under control.
"There is one person in the second cluster announced yesterday and we are working through all the contacts and the business she attended," she said.
"I'm reassured in the last seven days there have been 112,000 tests and those doubly vaccinated have only a 25% risk of passing it on.
"Two million Queenslanders 16 years or over are double vaccinated and I encourage the rest to come forward and get vaccinated."
