Cops locate NSW woman four days after she illegally snuck into Queensland and escaped her hotel quarantine room

Queensland Police have found the woman who illegally entered the state from a NSW hotspot before breaking out of hotel quarantine and spending four days on the run.

The 24-year-old was located by authorities in Caboolture around 3pm Saturday after a tip-off from a member of the public.

She is currently assisting police with inquiries after she escaped from her hotel quarantine on the Gold Coast on Tuesday.

The woman took her mobile phone but abandoned all of her other possessions with  police unable to locate her for four days.

A 24-year-old woman has been found by Queensland police after fleeing a Gold Coast quarantine hotel by forcing the glass door of her room open on August 3

Chief Health Officer Jeannette Young has expressed concern but hopes the risk of the woman spreading Covid-19 in Queensland is low.

'She's already tested negative once. Police will find her and then we'll be able to test her again,' Dr Young told reporters on Saturday morning.

She said anyone in border zone communities must get tested if they develop any symptoms.

Police appealed for public help to find the woman, who was forced into hotel quarantine after being intercepted at a border check point last Saturday.

Forcing open a glass door to escape her quarantine room, she remained on the run as family and friends were grilled on her whereabouts.

Deputy Commissioner Steve Gollschewski told the woman during Saturday morning's daily coronavirus briefing to 'please give yourself up'.

'She does not want to be caught. Unfortunately in policing we deal with these fugitive situations a lot.'

Health Minister Yvette D'Ath said it was alarming that southerners who've been in coronavirus hotspots are continuing to enter Queensland in defiance of health orders.

'If you turn up at the border without the proper exemptions you will end up in hotel quarantine,' she told would-be travellers from NSW and Victoria.

'There is no point getting in your car and trying to come into Queensland if you don't have the right border pass.'

Queensland police intercepted more than 10,000 vehicles on Saturday to make sure cross-border travellers have the right passes, and to ensure people are only moving around during the current lockdown for valid reasons.

This comes as Queensland has recorded 13 new cases of Covid-19 while the state's south-east anxiously wait to hear if the lockdown will be extended past Sunday afternoon.

The lockdown in 11 LGAs in the state is due to be lifted at 4pm tomorrow but with a handful of new cases health authorities are yet to confirm if it will.

Deputy Premier Steven Miles confirmed all cases recorded on Saturday were linked to the Indooroopilly cluster with 12 isolating while infectious.

The 13th case is under investigation with the total outbreak now at 102 cases. 

'Queensland, this is another very good day. Very, very encouraging results,' he said.   

'You are doing great, wearing masks, getting tested and we have been staying home. We need to keep it up. 

'If we do, that is what will give us the best possible chance of starting to get closer to what is normal as soon as possible.' 

Currently there are more than 10,000 people in self-quarantine and they will have to remain in isolation as people hope lockdown will be lifted on Sunday

Mr Miles said there are more than 10,000 people currently in self-quarantine and they will need to remain isolating whether or not the lockdown is lifted on Sunday.

Of the new cases on Saturday, two are household contacts of a known case at the Indooroopilly karate class, and one is a close contact of the karate class.

Five cases are household contacts of the Ironside State School and four cases are household contacts of the Indooroopilly High School. 

The last case is a close contact at the Brisbane Boys Grammar School.
