The hotspot declaration for Victoria will remain in place for at least another seven days following Victoria's Department of Health announcement of extended lockdown and restrictions.
Queensland's acting Chief Health Officer Dr Sonya Bennett said we will continue to monitor the situation in Victoria.
"We've seen how quickly COVID-19 can run rampant, and that Victoria is still identifying unlinked cases, which is why we're keeping the hotspot declaration in place for a little while longer," she said.
"We'll review it in seven days, in line with the Victorian lockdown of Greater Melbourne."
Anyone who has been in Victoria in the last 14 days is not allowed to enter Queensland unless they are a returning Queensland resident, except for a limited range of people who can enter for an essential purpose.
Anyone who is allowed to enter Queensland will be required to go into 14 days mandatory hotel quarantine. Anyone who arrives in Queensland where there are no quarantine hotels may be moved to a location where there is quarantine hotel space available.
Anyone who has been in Victoria in the past 14 days and was not required to hotel quarantine, continues to be required to comply with the restrictions in place in Victoria.
New South Wales (NSW) also released a list of declared COVID-19 exposure sites last night.
Dr Bennett said anyone who has been in NSW on or since 19 May 2021 should check the list of exposure sites.
"We'll continue to monitor NSW also, but right now, all Queenslanders need to be concerned about there is those exposure sites," she said.
Anyone in Queensland who has been to a declared COVID-19 exposure site in NSW during the risk period specified is automatically required to home quarantine.
If you have recently returned from NSW and not visited any listed exposure venues during the risk period, get tested if you have any COVID-19 symptoms, no matter how mild, and isolate until you get the results and your symptoms resolve.

Please continue to monitor the list of interstate exposure venues for 14 days after you arrive from any interstate location to ensure no new venues have been added.
