One of those people is in hotel quarantine, while the other is linked to the Indooroopilly cluster and has been isolating at home, the Premier said.

Speaking on the Gold Coast, Ms Palaszczuk said Brisbane's Ekka public holiday would now be held on Friday October 29 for people in Brisbane, Moreton Bay and Scenic Rim council areas.

Earlier this month, the People's Day holiday was scrapped after a COVID-19 outbreak forced a last-minute cancellation of the RNA Show.

Queensland authorities continue to be concerned about the worsening COVID situation in New South Wales.

Ms Palaszczuk said police had stopped and checked 10,000 cars at the Queensland border in the past 24 hours, and turned back 1,000 of those cars.
