Coronavirus Australia live news: Fines issued in Greater Brisbane as locked down city waits for COVID-19 case tally

Good morning blog watchers!

Hi there, I’m Sophie. I’m masked up in rainy locked down Brisbane, so today’s an ideal day for me to be running ABC’s coronavirus blog coverage. If I wasn’t here, I’d definitely be obsessively refreshing the blog at home.

Of course the main thing front of mind for a lot of us is whether there’s been any community transmission of the UK coronavirus strain in Brisbane. We’ll be keeping a close eye on that. I’ll bring news of the Queensland press conference, as well as the other states, as soon as I have it to hand.
