The new case – a young child – was linked to the Sunnybank cluster.However Health Minister Yvette D’Ath said the child tested positive on day 14 of their quarantine period.Deputy Chief Health Officer Lynne McKinlay said the family would unfortunately need to continue their home quarantine period.“The child had not been infectious in the community,” Dr McKinlay said.Dr McKinley also announced a pop-up vaccination centre would be put in place at Suncorp Stadium, which is hosting the NRL final tonight.She said the hours at the Brisbane Convention Centre’s mass vaccination clinic would be extended until 8pm so people could visit with Riverfire on.Meanwhile, one of Queensland’s most hated Covid-19 restrictions was eased on Friday after the state recorded no new cases.Queenslanders would still have to wear face masks for at least another two weeks, but the new tweak meant they could now be removed at venues once patrons sit down – even if they were not eating.Chief health officer Jeannette Young said the rule applied to all venues.“Once you sit down, you can take your mask off,” she said on Friday.“Doesn’t matter if you’re in a cinema, theatre, at school or work.“But once you stand up, please put it on again because we don’t know who you’re coming into contact with.”
