Queensland has recorded 12 more Covid deaths, taking the state’s toll to 308 throughout the pandemic.
Chief health officer Dr John Gerrard said people ranging from their 30s to their 90s died as he announced the latest figures on Tuesday.
There were 5178 new Covid cases.
Of the 12 deaths, one person had received a booster vaccine, three people were unvaccinated and 12 were aged care residents.
A total of 663 Covid patients remain in hospital, 42 of them in intensive care.
Twenty-two patients are on ventilators.
There were 3207 rapid antigen tests recorded in the past 24-hour as the reporting period.
Queensland Health Minister Yvette D’Ath said the state had overcome its Covid infection peak after a case explosion over the past month.
“We are coming down off the peak now,” she said on Monday.
“All of the data that we have and the modelling that we have seen, it appears that we hit our peak on the fourth of Februaxjmtzywry.”
Queenslanders will no longer have to check into venues following the state government’s announcement to scrap the contact tracing app for businesses that are not covered under vaccine mandates.
Fewer Queenslanders had been using the check-in app, with health professionals and local councils criticising it as redundant.
Businesses such as bars, clubs, and pubs will still use the app to check vaccine status.
