There have been two new cases of coronavirus in Queensland in the past 24 hours, one person who is in hotel quarantine and a man who is a trainer from Queensland's corrective services.
Key points:
An estimated 7,000 of the state's 9,000 prisoners are facing "extreme isolation" in lockdown
The link between the trainer's case and the outbreak at the Wacol facility remains unknown
Nearly 20,000 coronavirus tests have been conducted in the past 24 hours
Correctional facilities in the state went into lockdown after the trainer, from the Queensland Corrective Services (QCS) Academy at Wacol, returned a positive result yesterday afternoon.
The 60-year-old had trained 14 recruits and worked alongside 11 colleagues — all were tested and are now in quarantine.
Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk said reports that he had been working in prisons was incorrect.
"As a precaution some of our corrective service facilities have gone into lockdown," she said.
