Brisbane lockdown to be lifted after zero new cases reported
The Brisbane lockdown will be lifted at 6:00pm tonight with no new cases reported after residents were told to stay home for three days.
Tens of thousand of coronavirus tests have been conducted since 6:00pm on Friday, when Queensland authorities imposed a snap lockdown to slow the potential spread of a UK coronavirus variant.
The highly contagious strain was detected in a cleaner who spent five days in the community in early January after contracting the virus at Brisbane quarantine hotel.
On Monday, Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk said it had been a “great effort” by Queenslanders over the past three days.
Masks will remain mandatory for another 10 days until 1:00am on January 22.
