Another eight people have died with COVID-19 in Queensland as the state records 5854 new virus cases and hospital admissions continue to drop.
The latest deaths were aged between their 60s and 90s, and only one had received a third booster shot.
It comes as the state releases hospital admissions figures for the peak of the Omicron wave, compared to what early modelling suggested.
In the worst case scenario, up to 5000 beds would have been needed for COVID-19 patients in Queensland, however the peak was just 925 in late January.
ICU numbers peaked at 71, compared to modelling of up to 500, premier Annastacia Palaszczuk said on Thursday.
"I'd love to say it's over, but its not," she said, foreshadowing the tail end of the current wave in early March, ahead of a potential flu season in winter.
Public hospital admissions for COVID-19 are now at 579, compared to 628 the previous day.
There are another 54 patients being treated for the virus in private hospitals.
Meanwhile, Liberal National Party leader David Crisafulli has backed calls for a review of vaccine mandates in venues made by the Queensland Chamber of the Commerce.
He said the government promised to unveil its plans for mandates once 90 per cent of eligible Queenslanders had completed two doses of a vaccine.
"They've said at the moment that they're reviewing it," he said on Thursday.
"But the contract was to review it at 90 per cent and we're now at 90 per cent - I saw all the shiny graphics go up on the premier's website - but what does that mean for Queenslanders."
