Queensland's Chief Health Officer has defended the state's coronavirus quarantine regime, despite two new cases in two days involving overseas arrivals who had already spent 14 days in isolation.

Queensland recorded no new COVID-19 cases overnight, leaving the total number of infections to date at 1,065, with only one current case in hospital — a patient on a ventilator in intensive care. Dr Young said authorities had seen "more recently you can test positive later" but this was not an overwhelming argument to extend the quarantine period.
