Queensland has recorded one new COVID-19 case in the past 24 hours who is a returned traveller and currently in hotel quarantine.

The man is currently being managed by the Metro North Hospital and health service.

LIVE UPDATES: 12 deaths and 216 new cases in Victoria

Papua New Guinea has recently seen a spike in coronavirus cases.

Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk said the state's 10,000 tests in the last 24 hours is a "wonderful effort".

There have been 28 flights into Queensland processed in the past day.

Queenslanders get call up to vaccine trials

The University of the Sunshine Coast is calling on Queenslanders between 18 and 84 who are non-smokers to participate in vaccine trials for COVID-19.

Developed by US vaccine manufacturer Novavax, the trials are the first of their kind in the state.

Queensland borders likely shut until Christmas

Ms Palaszczuk this week said the Queensland borders would remain closed to Victoria and NSW until there was no active coronavirus community transmission.

"We will put the safety of Queenslanders first and we do not have any intentions of opening any borders while there is community transmission active in Victoria and NSW," she said.

"I think we're going to continue to see restrictions in Victoria until up around Christmas time."
