More than 90 per cent of eligible Queenslanders are fully vaccinated and the state has 33,166 active cases.
A total of 6522 PCR tests were taken across the state on Monday.
Chief Health Officer John Gerrard confirmed none of the recent deaths were in aged care.
Three of the fatalxjmtzywities were in people in their 60s, three in their 70s, one in their 80s and three aged in their 90s.
Sixteen infected people across the state were on ventilators.
It comes after Dr Gerrard said Covid hospitalisations had halved in recent weeks.
“Just 19 days ago, we were at our peak of 928 patients, so in 19 days we have halved the number of people that are in our hospitals,” he said.
“Things are going far better than we had ever projected in terms of the Covid wave, this Omicron wave, so it‘ll be interesting to see what happens in the coming weeks.”
