One of the three woman who allegedly lied to authorities to get back into Queensland has spoken out from hotel quarantine.

Haja Timbo, 21, was identified as the third woman to be charged.

Ms Timbo, along with Olivia Winnie Muranga, 19, and Diana Lasu, 21, sparked the state’s outbreak fears.

There are also long queues of vehicles at road checkpoints on the New South Wales-Queensland border, where additional police have been sent to check vehicles crossing.

From 1am on Saturday, anyone travelling from Greater Sydney to the Sunshine State will have to endure a mandatory 14-day quarantine period in a hotel at their own expense, in response to an uptick in cases of COVID-19.

It comes as Queensland recorded a new case of coronavirus today, which has been linked to a cluster sparked by two of the three women who jumped the border returning from Melbourne.
