The Southern Downs recorded 53 new cases of Covid-19 in the last week, with case numbers jumping last week but slowing by the start of this week.
Queensland had a total of 603,264 cases of Covid-19 at the time of print.
Restrictions eased across the state over the past week, with masks no longer required across the state from March 4.
Density limits were also removed on venues and events from March 4.
Weddings and private hire venues still have capacity restrictions. If anyone attending is unvaccinated, a maximum of 20 people is allowed.
Non-essential leisure businesses (where vaccination is a condition of entry) must continue to use the Check In Qld app. There continue to be no density restrictions on these businesses.
