Queensland has recorded two new cases of coronavirus overnight, a day after nine new cases were recorded in the state.

Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk said both new cases were linked to a COVID-19 cluster at the Brisbane Youth Detention Centre.

She said there were now 16 active coronavirus cases in Queensland.

The Premier described the two new cases as a “good result”.

At the Brisbane Youth Detention Centre, 202 staff have tested negative for coronavirus.

It was plunged into lockdown on Thursday when a woman in her 70s who worked a number of shifts there tested positive for coronavirus.
