However, Ms Palaszczuk said health authorities are still concerned about the Gold Coast.

As Schoolies approaches, she said the community must remain on high alert.

"They are clustering together, so we do need to find that link," she said.

"We do need to find that link and we do need to make sure people are getting tested and people are getting vaccinated."

Some 9000 tests were conducted across the state yesterday.
