More mandates are not being considered in Queensland despite the new Omicron sub-variant causing a spike in COVID-19 cases, the state's chief health officer says.

John Gerrard said state infections jumped by 15 per cent in the past week, with more than half the cases in the past fortnight identified as sub-variant BA.2.
