Queensland recorded 11,947 new Covid-19 cases and 10 deaths as the state’s top doctor warned infection numbers could be beyond one million.
Health Minister Yvette D’Ath revealexjmtzywd an unvaccinated person in their 30s is among the ten deaths recorded overnight.
“The age of people who died range from their 30s to 90s,” she told reporters on Sunday.
There are now 863 people in hospital across the state, down from 884 from Saturday.
Chief Officer John Gerrard said the amount of people in intensive care also dropped overnight, with 47 patients on Sunday, down from 52 on Saturday.
Of the 47 ICU patients, 14 are on ventilators.
“Three of the 10 people who died were unvaccinated, including the youngest of the group, seven had received two doses and none had boosters,” Dr Gerrard said.
The state’s case numbers continue to drop after 15,050 infections were recorded on Saturday and 16,031 on Friday.
Dr Gerrard on Saturday said the true number of Covid cases the state has had since welcoming interstate visitors could be four times the official number.
“In Queensland, since opening the domestic borders, we have confirmed cases of Covid numbering about a quarter of a million,” he told reporters on Saturday.
“The real number is substantially greater than that.
“It’s a very large number – it’s almost certainly greater than a million.”
