A third case was diagnosed in hotel quarantine.

There is "no risk at all" to the public from the two new cases, Chief Health Officer Jeannette Young said.

"When they went into home quarantine they tested negative. They have now tested positive," Dr Young said.

"We have gone and done some further work and they had no public exposure sites."

Ms Palaszczuk also praised the 10 hospital staff who saved a COVID-19 patient's life at the Sunshine Coast University Hospital.

"I know that Queenslanders are proud of them as well," she said.

"And of course they'll go into isolation now, because they just went in and did exactly what anyone who works in our health service would do."

Ms Palaszczuk also expressed her condolences to a man unable to get into the state to see his mother before she died.

Anthony McCormick had raced home from Canada after learning his mother was diagnosed with cancer.

"Our hearts go out to him. To lose someone so close is just awful," she said.

She also expressed her support for the under-pressure exemptions unit in Queensland.

"They're trying their best. They're humans," she said.
