More than 11,395 people are subject to quarantine orders as a result of the current clusters and people from overseas in hotel quarantine in Queensland. More than 5800 are due to the “Indooroopilly” cluster in south-east Queensland.
The cluster is now 63 cases after 16 more cases were announced this morning.
“Thirty-four cases are aged 19 and under,” Dr Young said.
“We’ve known younger people to have been less affected in previous outbreaks. However, that is no longer the case with Delta.
