QLD six dead; all vaccinated

Queensland has recorded six deaths from COVID, while a surge in cases sees hospital admissions jump.

The state recorded 19,709 new cases in the latest reporting period, including 6,087 through rapid antigen tests.

Health Minister Yvette D'Ath said there are 649 people being treated for COVID symptoms in hospitals, including 46 in intensive care.

Fourteen people are on ventilators.

Chief Health Officer John Gerrard said all of the six people who died had significant underlying health conditions.

One was aged in their 20s, one in their 70s, two in their 80s and two in their 90s.

"All of these people had in fact received a vaccine," Dr Gerrard said.

"It is a reminder that even the vaccinated can get severe disease, particularly if you have underlying medical issues."
