Coronavirus live updates: Queensland slammed over 'extreme' COVID-19 rules

As Australia transitions out of lockdown, one remaining state's “extreme” virus rules have been likened to “solitary confinement”.

Civil libertarians have raised serious concerns about Queensland’s “extreme” quarantine measures, likening them to solitary confinement.

The Queensland Council for Civil Liberties says people have reached out with troubling stories about how they were treated in coronavirus quarantine.

President Michael Cope cited reports of travellers being loaded into packed buses with no hope of social distancing and taken to “windowless hotel rooms”.

“They are confined and subject to police guard without any opportunity for exercise," he said.

“This seemingly excessive approach to confinement of Queenslanders is more akin to solitary confinement than a medical precaution and must be the subject of transparent scrutiny to ensure that human rights of individuals are being respected.” 

Queensland recorded no new cases overnight, with just three active cases remaining across the state.

Australia’s coronavirus death toll is 102 with five cases recorded in the country in the last 24 hours.

The nation has recorded a total 7245 cases of COVID-19, with 3108 in New South Wales, 1678 in Victoria, 1062 in Queensland, 440 in South Australia, 592 in Western Australia, 228 in Tasmania, 107 in the Australian Capital Territory and 30 in the Northern Territory.
