    Queensland Premier Anastasia Palaszczuk says she is prepared to risk losing the election if it means following the advice of Chief Health Officer Jeannette Young.

    Key points:

    • Threats have been made against the Chief Health Officer life
    • Dr Jeannette Young had been receiving up to 100 requests for exemptions per day
    • Queensland recorded zero new coronavirus cases for the second consecutive day

    The Premier's statement comes after it was revealed Dr Young was under police protection following death threats.

    Ms Palaszczuk described Dr Young as one of the most professional women she had ever worked with.

    "Her advice has kept Queenslanders safe," Ms Palaszczuk said.

    "Now if it means I have to lose the election, I will risk all that if it means keeping Queenslanders safe.

    "For some reason, Queensland seems to be singled out when Tasmania and Western Australia have similar restrictions.

    "I think it is not right that a public servant of her high standing — and she is regarded as one of the best in the nation — be attacked for giving her clear advice.

    "I will always stand up for what I believe to be right in this state.

    "I'm putting myself on the line.

    "People stop me in the street and tell me they want us to keep doing what we are doing.

    "And I am relying on the best medical advice given to me by Dr Young."
