Remote Queensland areas with lower vaccination rates are increasingly recording COVID-19 cases, as authorities work to investigate more than 520 active cases in those areas.
Queensland reported its highest number of cases at 386 on Thursday, up from 186 on Wednesday.
Authorities again urged people to get vaccinated, with the state government concerned vaccination rates in places like the Gold Coast were not high enough to combat an incoming wave of thousands of interstate travellers.
Queenslanders were warned there would an escalation in positive cases, like the surges in New South Wales and Victoria.
Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk said since the border reopened on Monday, 300,000 people had crossed and that number was increasing about 30,000 per day.
Speaking on Wednesday at the Gold Coast, which has a lower first-dose vaccination rate than the rest of the south-east, Ms Palaszczuk urged the region to get the jab.
Of the regions with active cases across Queensland currently, many have lower first-dose vaccination rates, including Yarrabah in the Cairns region at 71.6 per cent, and Isaac in Central Queensland at 71.8 per cent.
For double-dose rates, Yarrabah was at 56.9 per cent, while Isaac was at 63.5 per cent.
"[COVID-19] is now in the Banana Shire, Brisbane, Bundaberg, Cairns, central Queensland, Gold Coast, Gympie, Ipswich, Logan, Maranoa, Mareeba, Moreton Bay, Noosa, Redland, Southern Downs, Sunshine Coast, Toowoomba, Townsville and the Whitsundays," Ms Palaszczuk said.
Cherbourg, an Aboriginal community in the Wide Bay, had a first-dose rate of 63.5 per cent and a second-dose rate of 52.8 per cent, but it was suggested there could be data issues and the figures may not be accurate.
There were no active cases in the Wide Bay region on Thursday, but Cherbourg remained one of the lowest in the country, according to the data.
Of the national figures, almost 40 Queensland regions did not have statistics available due to remoteness.
Across Queensland on Thursday afternoon there were 800 active cases, with more than 520 of those still needing to be investigated or allocated a region.
Of the 285 active cases across the state that had been allocated a region, Gold Coast recorded the highest at 92, followed by Metro North at 61 and Metro South at 52.
Ms Palaszczuk said almost everywhere in the south-east had reached about 90 per cent first-dose vaccination, except the Gold Coast.
"It is absolutely imperative we drive up the vaccination rates on the Gold Coast," she said.
The Premier warned Queenslanders would see an escalation in cases like what had been seen in other states, including NSW, which recorded 5715 cases, and Victoria, at 2005 cases.
