Busy Woolworths, BWS and even a public toilet are listed on Queensland's worrying new Covid exposure list - after cops patrolling State of Origin were found to be close contacts

Three new venues have been added to Queensland's sprialling list of Covid exposure sites as the state deals with two separate Covid outbreaks and increased restrictions.

The latest locations flagged by Queensland Health late Monday are a busy Woolworths supermarket and a BWS liquor store on the Gold Coast, along with a public toilet in the North Burnett Region, north west of Brisbane.

The urgent health alerts come after a group of police officers patrolling Sunday's State of Origin clash in Brisbane were among 63 cops forced into isolation, after the Sunshine state recorded two locally-acquired infections on Monday.

State Health authorities said anyone who visited Woolworths at the Oasis Shopping Centre at Broadbeach on Saturday June 26 between 1.25pm - 1.50pm is considered a close contact

It is the same story for those who attended the BWS Bottle shop in the same shopping complex on the same date between 1.30pm - 2pm

The officers forced into isolation were deemed close contacts of a Covid positive case that worked at the Brisbane City Watchhouse. 

The positive case was linked to a cluster which emerged out of the Portuguese Family Centre in Brisbane, where a flight attendant passed on the UK Alpha variant earlier this month. 

Queensland Heath said in a statement: 'Those officers were all contacted on Sunday evening and asked to self-quarantine until a full assessment can be completed and directions issued where required.' 

Some, on duty patrolling the State of Origin match where even told to go and self-isolate midway through the match, forcing them to abandon their post.     

Game two of the series went ahead at Suncorp Stadium in front of a sold out crowd of 52,000 spectators, despite Covid concerns, with fans told to wear masks unless they were sat down.

Just hours before kickoff, a bizarre health order was issued to footy fans telling them that masks were mandatory when entering and leaving the ground, but not compulsory while seated. 

Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk took to Twitter to explain the strange rules.

'Masks must be worn on arrival to Suncorp Stadium and especially on exit,' she wrote.

'The only time you don't need a mask is when you are seated. Masks will be available on arrival.

'Please check in using the Check In Qld app. And if you are sick - stay home.'

The other case recorded on Monday is tied to the Indian Delta strain, after a close contact contracted virus from a fly-in-fly-out worker returned to the Sunshine Coast town of Bli Bli after becoming infected at a Northern Territory mine.

The infection has put the state on high alert after it was revealed 170 Queensland mine worker deemed close contacts of the Covid-positive case, returned home to the state while potentially infectious. 

This outbreak has not yet been linked to Sydney's growing Bondi Cluster. 

With fears of multiple out-of-control outbreaks Ms Palaszczuk brought in a range of Corvid restrictions on Monday and warned Southeast Queensland is 'on the verge' of a lockdown.

The Premier moved to mandate mask use indoors and outdoors across 11 local government areas and capped public gatherings. 

'We are on the verge (of a lockdown), but we are monitoring very, very closely over the next 24 to 48 hours will we see any further community outbreaks in Queensland,' Ms Palaszczuk told reporters.

'This is the Delta strain, you've seen how quickly it has escalated NSW over a period of about 10 days.

'So, you know, we're looking at this day by day and we will not hesitate to take action.'

Residents of Brisbane, Ipswich, Logan City, Moreton Bay, Redlands, Sunshine Coast, Noosa, Somerset, Lockyer Valley, Scenic Rim and Gold Coast will have to wear masks for 14-days from 1am on Tuesday.

Any person who leaves the 11 local government areas will have to continue wearing masks while they do.

Other restrictions have also been tightened with a maximum of 30 people including children allowed to visit homes.

Wedding and funerals will be restricted to 100 people with only 20 people allowed to dance at the former.

There will be a one person per four square metre rule in venues and no dancing will be allowed at all.

Ticketed or fully seated venues with Covid plans will be allowed to continue operating at full capacity.

Ms Palaszczuk warned the NSW border could be shut if there was further community transmission in the north of the southern state.
