There has been one new community case of COVID-19 recorded in Queensland.
Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk said a 13-year-old Brisbane schoolgirl tested positive and students have been sent home from St Thomas More College in Sunnybank as a "precaution".
Ms Palaszczuk said the case had emerged this morning and was "under investigation".
One new overseas acquired case has also been recorded — a person from a ship who tested positive in hotel quarantine.
It comes as the Queensland government announced it has reinstated the border bubble with New South Wales.
Chief Health Officer Jeannette Young said from 1:00am Monday students and essential workers, from the 12 NSW local government areas where restrictions will ease tomorrow, will be able to travel into Queensland.
"We've heard due to what's happening in NSW that those restrictions have been removed for a lot of those [restrictions for] border communities, which is really good news," Dr Young said.
The Premier said it was "great news" that the border could open up.
"It's basically going back to that border bubble that we've had previously," Ms Palaszczuk said.
Dr Young said she was also concerned about a NSW truck driver who was infectious in the Queensland community last Sunday and Monday, and said his movements were still being traced.
She said the driver was the eighth COVID-positive truck driver to have been in Queensland during their infectious period.
Dr Young said thousands of drivers a day cross border and holding them up "would be difficult", but authorities are continuing to examine the situation.
More to come.
