Queensland has recorded another nine cases of coronavirus overnight, though we’re being warned this is just the beginning.

It brings the state’s total to 943 confirmed cases, with no new deaths reported.

Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk confirmed the new case numbers on the Today Show this morning, but says she doesn’t want the Easter weekend to ruin the progress.

“I think our measures are starting to see a big impact.

“But this Easter, coming up to Easter, we don’t want people to take their foot off the accelerator.

“We need to make sure that everyone is staying home and doing the right thing. We’ve got a long way to go – this is just the start of it.

“And I think that we are seeing the measures that we are putting in place are starting to have an impact.

“Those results overnight are very encouraging, we’ve seen a downward trend this week, and hopefully we’re seeing that around the country as well.

“Just because the trend is coming down, doesn’t mean that you stop what we’re doing that’s showing that we’re working.

“Let’s continue to flatten that curve, we need to beat this virus,” the Premier told Today Show.

The Premier was unable to say just how soon certain lock down measures could be lifted.

Further details about the new cases are expected from Queensland Health authorities later today.
