Of particular concern are a mother and daughter from the Brisbane suburb of Carindale who visited many venues while infectious, and have not been linked to known clusters. They are a primary reason Chief Health Officer Jeannette Young decided to keep Brisbane and the neighbouring Moreton Bay area in lockdown for an extra day, until at least 6pm on Saturday.

The other two cases of local transmission reported on Friday were a baggage handler at Brisbane International Airport presumed to have been infected by international crew, and a late breaking case involving a man on the Sunshine Coast. The man in his 50s worked on the campus of the University of the Sunshine Coast and was there on Monday, June 28, and Tuesday, June 29, before Queenslands partial three-day lockdown began on Tuesday night. But Dr Young has deemed him to be low risk because he had only minimal contact with others, and has not declared the campus a contact tracing site. Authorities are yet to reveal what variant of the virus he has. Late on Friday, Queensland Health released new contact-tracing locations at Brisbane Airport, Brisbane City, Griffin, Hatton Vale, North Lakes, Redcliffe, Sippy Downs, South Brisbane, Wellcamp, West End and Haigslea. A full list of new locations is available at the Queensland Health website. Queenslands snap lockdown ended for all regions except Brisbane and Moreton Bay at 6pm on Friday. Masks remain mandatory outside the home in all areas that were subject to the initial lockdown, including all 11 local government areas in southeast Queensland, Townsville, Magnetic and Palm Islands.
