COVID-19 cases are continuing to climb week on week in Queensland but have stabilised in other states as Australia sees its fourth wave peak.
New virus cases have risen by 21 per cent in Queensland over the past week from 13,632 to 16,600
"A number of indicators suggest we have reached the peak of the COVID-19 wave," Chant said.
"While this is good news, we are still seeing a high number of cases across the state and encourage you and the community at large to remain vigilant and take some simple steps to protect themselves or others."
