Queensland records 1,158 new COVID-19 cases as Health Minister says day five testing to be scrapped

 Queensland has axed the requirement for travellers to get a PCR test on their fifth day in the state, with anyone currently lining up for the test told they can leave.

The announcement comes after mounting pressure from other states, with NSW Health Minister Brad Hazzard earlier today imploring Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk to remove the PCR test requirement for those wanting to enter Queensland.

Queensland Health Minister Yvette D'Ath made the announcement to remove the five-day testing requirement this morning, saying only 0.6 per cent of those tested on day five had returned positive results. 

"That means that the Chief Health Officer advised us that we no longer need to continue these tests," she said.

    People were waiting in lines for day five testing and it is a good decision made by Health Minister Yvette D'Ath and authority of Queensland because people were facing problems by waiting for hours in lines for the day five testing. So, now negative PCR test report is enough to enter in QLD state.

  In a major incentive for international students, the Australian government last month announced the relaxing of eligibility requirements for the sought-after post-study work visa.
