April 16, 2020<\/strong><\/p>\n

More than 1000 people have now tested positive to COVID-19 in Queensland, official figures released by Queensland Health on Wednesday show.<\/p>\n

The figures show a total of 1001 cases; of these, 442 people have recovered and five have died.<\/p>\n

The rest remain as “active” cases.<\/p>\n

Health Minister Steven Miles said 21 patients were\u00a0being treated in hospital,\u00a0including\u00a011 in intensive care.<\/p>\n

A total of\u00a073,868 tests have been carried out in the State since the crisis began.<\/p>\n

Queensland Chief Health Officer Jeannette Young said more than 700 of the 1001 cases were travellers who had caught the virus while overseas or on a cruise.<\/p>\n

Another 160 had contracted the disease from someone who had been an overseas traveller.<\/p>\n

There are no new cases in the Darling Downs Health region.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The total number of confirmed cases in the Darling Downs was re-adjusted from yesterday’s total back to 42.<\/p>\n

Twenty-five people have recovered.<\/p>\n

Active cases are in Toowoomba, Miles and Oakey.<\/p>\n

Nationally,\u00a0at 6:00am on Thursday there had been 6458 confirmed cases in Australia, up 42 from 6:00am on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Chief Medical Officer Prof Brendan Murphy said there were 42 patients on ventilators across Australia.<\/p>\n

The most confirmed cases continue to be in NSW (2897), followed by Victoria (1299).<\/p>\n

There have been 63 deaths.<\/p>\n

Internationally, more than two million people have now tested positive to COVID-19, although the true number of infections may be much higher as testing regimes differ from country to country.<\/p>\n

There have been an estimated 134,600 deaths and more than 510,000 people have recovered.<\/p>\n
