Since June, Queensland Health has had 34,774 exemption applications for interstate travellers to enter Queensland, visit a dying relative or for other reasons.
Only 104 of those were approved, the majority for interstate arrivals with complex medical needs, a Queensland Health spokesman said on Wednesday.
