Coronavirus Australia live news: COVID-19 on the National Cabinet agenda - ABC News

The Queensland press conference has finished

Health Minister Steven Miles said 56 tests have been returned from the detention centre, all returned a negative result. 

 
"In the last testing period we did 9,122 tests which is a good increase and is what we would want to see under the circumstances," he said.

 
"There are still of course outstanding tests, that is of the 75 that were taken yesterday.

 
"The rest of the young people there, the 127, will be tested as well as staff."

 
Queensland has 6 active cases, with two on the Gold Coast, two in Townsville, one in West Moreton and one in Metro North. 
Four patients are in hospital but none are on a ventilator.  

 
Chief Health Officer Dr Jeannette Young said one historic coronavirus case had been picked up overnight. 

 
"These are one of those ones that are being picked up on serology," she said.

 
"It's of no concern and we can actually link it back to a known outbreak that occurred earlier on in the pandemic."
