Health Minister Steven Miles says while Queensland has gone more than 25 days since recording a COVID-19 case that risked community transmission, he wants to see testing numbers much higher.

Mr Miles said the testing of wastewater in sewage treatment plants around Queensland would continue to be used as an indicator of where the virus could still be active.

"That's where we'll focus our effort — on increasing testing rates and opening fever clinics additional hours. "We're doing localised messaging around that in Cannonvale, North Rockhampton and Cairns and Ipswich.", Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk described another day with no new cases as "wonderful news"."That's exactly what we want — to continue on that path to recovery."

"We're in a unique time in our lives, never before have we been in the midst of a global pandemic and my job is to look after Queenslanders and their families."
