Queensland has recorded three new cases of COVID-19 overnight, however none of them are linked to the two 19-year-old women who failed to self-isolate after returning from Melbourne.

They are all isolated and pose no risk to the community, Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk said.

Health Minister Steven Miles provided further details about the case of the two teenage women who are now the subject of a criminal investigation, Olivia Winnie and Diana Lasu.

A third woman who tested positive yesterday is a relative of one of the women.

Mr Miles suggested the trio had contracted COVID-19 at a party in Melbourne.

"Police believe they have now identified all three Queenslanders who were at that party in Melbourne," he said.

"We don't think there are any others."

More than 6800 tests were conducted yesterday, almost 1000 of them were in the Metro South area.

The results of those tests are expected to be available within the next 72 hours.
