03.01.2022 Today, the World Health Organisation (WHO) reported a record one-day increase of 307,930 in global COVID-19 cases - but in Queensland, we recorded 0 new cases. ...Not a single one of today's global cases came from our state. Queensland this is something you should be so proud of Together, we are doing a great job at keeping case numbers low and each other safe . We only need to look overseas to see what another reality might be. There are things we have had to sacrifice, and it hasn't been easy. But together, we are making a big difference. Thank you, Queensland.
