QUEENSLAND'S borders will remain closed until at least October, with Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk declaring there would be no change to restrictions this month.
Ms Palaszczuk remained firm in her stance to disallow movement between Victoria, New South Wales and the ACT until there was no community transmission of coronavirus in those states.
"We said we'd review it at the end of each month and there has been no advice from the Chief Health Officer to change what we are doing," Ms Palaszczuk said.
"There will be no change for the month of September.
"Dr Young has made it very clear she does not want to see community transmission and there is community transmission at the moment in the southern states."
Ms Palaszczuk said the Chief Health Officer's advice was there needed to be two cycles without community transmission, so two fortnight periods, before border openings would be reassessed.
But despite her tough stance, people desperate to get into Queensland continue to flout the laws.
This includes a 48-year-old man who flew to Queensland from Melbourne on Monday, despite having earlier tested positive to COVID-19.
The man, who arrived at Brisbane Airport aboard Jestar flight JQ560 arrived at 9.19am.
It comes as Queensland recorded two new coronavirus cases on Tuesday, both from the West Morton region, meaning there are 28 active cases in the state.
They include a 37-year-old male nurse, who had been working in the COVID ward at the Ipswich Hospital.
The second case is an 18-year-old from Staines Secondary College at Redbank Plains, who was already in quarantine after an earlier case was detected at the school. The school remains closed, with all 600 students, teachers and close contacts told to quarantine and get tested.
Queensland Police Deputy Commissioner Steve Gollschewski said the man who flew from Victoria was intercepted at the airport was immediately placed in hotel quarantine, having come from a COVID hotspot.
"Our initial investigations have indicated that this person is COVID positive and was positive whilst in Victoria and it would appear has provided untrue information in relation to that border declaration pass."
Mr Gollschewski said the man was known to police, and a criminal investigation had been launched for serious offences alongside him failing to properly declare when entering Queensland.
The man is yet to be charged and is under guarded hotel quarantine.
All other 84 people who were on the flight are also in quarantine awaiting COVID-19 testing.
"We are working with Queensland Health because obviously this person travelled on a plane with some 84 other persons, who all have also been placed into quarantine at this stage.
"Our system will no go through the process of further contract tracing and make sure all those persons are looked after firstly, but also tested for COVID to make sure no-one else has caught that disease."
Mr Gollschewski said the man's actions were disappointing but the fact he was caught showed processes were working.
In the 24 hours on Monday, 75 domestic flights had come into Queensland, carrying 3189 passengers, with six of them refused entry to the state.
Police have processed 3378 vehicles at road borders and refused entry to 152 persons.
In that time 423 people have been placed in quarantine.
"Since we started this we've intercepted 653,000 vehicles at our road borders and processed nearly 285,000 people through domestic airlines and placed 13,600 people into international quarantine coming from overseas," Mr Gollschewski said.
Over 2200 fines have been issued in Queensland since the start of the COVID response.
"The vast majority of people do the right thing. There are those that will try to beat the system," Mr Gollschewski said.
