Globally COVID-19 ’is getting worse’

Queensland Health Minister Yvette D’Ath says the reasons citizens must continue to be vigilant is because globally this virus is getting worse. “There’s been now 90 million positive cases around the world. Over 1.9 million deaths,” Ms D’Ath said. “But what is more concerning is the World Health Organization has reported that for the third week in a row we have seen positive cases of 4 million new cases a week and we have seen an increase of 3% in the death rate. “So this means things are getting worse globally which is why we are seeing more positive cases coming back from overseas.” Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk announced on Monday that Greater Brisbane will come out of its three-day lockdown a 6:00pm. This comes as Queensland recorded no new cases of COVID-19.
