Queensland Health issued an alert on Friday for new COVID-19 exposure sites at Karana Downs, Seventeen Mile Rocks and the Brisbane Domestic Airport.
There are now more than 300 sites listed on the Queensland Health website.
Chief Health Officer Dr Jeannette Young told reporters on Friday that she was “hopeful” she could lift the south-east Queensland lockdown on Sunday, although some restrictions would continue even after the lockdown ended.
The good news was that although Queensland had recorded 10 new locally acquired Delta cases overnight, all were linked to the Indooroopilly cluster.
And only two had been infectious in the community for a total of one day; the remainder were already in quarantine.
All tests at the Rookwood Weir construction site camp have been negative.
The Indooroopilly cluster now totals 89, including 57 people aged 19 or under. The cluster includes 48 students and four teachers across five schools.
A Queensland Health spokesperson said there were more than 13,100 contacts associated with the cluster, including more than 8500 people in home quarantine.
Of these, 400 are health workers.
