Four more cases of COVID-19 have been confirmed in the local area – three more in Cherbourg and one in the South Burnett Regional Council area.
No further information on any of these cases is available.
This takes the Cherbourg total for the past two days to four.
On Thursday, Queensland Health announced another 2222 cases across the State.
Chief Health Officer Dr John Gerrard said no one was in intensive care.
He said there was no intention for the State to impose lockdowns on Indigenous communities but the final decision would rest with local authorities.
Since the pandemic began, there have been 10,752 confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Queensland; 8586 are currently active with 103 people in hospital.
Dr Gerrard said the public should expect “tens of thousands” of cases in Queensland within weeks but the majority of people who have received two doses of vaccine should experience mild symptoms.
