Queensland at a glance:

“It means Easter camping holidays with more friends, more business for our tourism operators and more money in tourism towns,” she said.

“It also makes the return to workplaces and greater numbers of workers in our CBD more likely, pumping more money into sandwich bars and coffee shops who’ve been missing their customers.”

She said it was more evidence of Queenslanders lives and economy returning to normal.

“Anzac Day is back to normal… weddings and funerals can be attended by greater numbers,” Ms Palaszczuk said.

“This is not the case in every state.

“Our excellent health response is making our economic recovery that much faster and stronger.”

Queensland has recorded five new cases of coronavirus overnight, acquired overseas and detected in hotel quarantine.
