There have been no new cases of coronavirus in Queensland overnight.
It means there are currently 8 active cases in the Sunshine State.
It comes after there were only about 1800 tests in the previous testing period, with Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk urging anyone with symptoms to get tested.
She said the latest case numbers were good news and would give people confidence amid the September school holidays.
It comes on the day millions of Australians see their JobKeeper and JobSeeker payments cut.
The JobKeeper payment will only be extended for businesses and not-for-profits still significantly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, while payment rates will be split into two separate tiers and gradually reduced.
Meanwhile the COVID-19 supplement added to JobSeeker payments is also due to be reduced
JobKeeper is slated to continue until March 28, while the JobSeeker top up will stay until at least the end of 2020.
