As the COVID-19 virus evolves to survive and spread, the way we protect ourselves has evolved as well.

'If this virus is so smart, then what's a simple mask going to do?' we hear you ask 🤔.

Simply put, masks do ALOT 💪. Remember, one way COVID-19 spreads is through droplets. These droplets can enter your body through your eyes, nose 👃 and mouth 👄 – which provide a direct pathway to your throat and lungs. Covering your face with a mask can stop 50-80% of fine droplets, particles and aerosols❗.

When you couple masks with social distancing 📏 and washing your hands regularly 🙌, the protection you give yourself and others can make a real difference.

Today we have recorded 19 new cases of COVID-19.

16 cases were locally acquired, 1 case is currently under investigation and 2 cases were overseas acquired and detected in hotel quarantine.

There are currently 100 active cases and 59 are in hospital. To date, 1,727 people have recovered from the disease and sadly, 7 people have lost their lives.

This brings the total number of cases in Queensland to 1,859.

A total of 947,882 vaccine doses have been administered in Queensland (not including the number of vaccinations administered by the Commonwealth Government) and 3,488,513 tests taken.

Each day, total cases may not equal active plus recovered plus deaths, as information for some cases is still pending and will be updated in due course.
