    A growing Covid-19 cluster in Brisbane has forced the Australian city back into lockdown

    A growing Covid-19 cluster in Brisbane has forced the Australian city back into lockdown


    The Queensland capital recorded four new community cases overnight, almost doubling its outbreak.

    Residents will be put under stay-at-home orders for three days.

    There are fears the virus has spread, after revelations a case visited Gladstone, another city in the state.

    Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk says she knows lockdown will disrupt people's lives.

    But she says they've tackled outbreaks before - and if everyone does the right thing - they'll do it again.
