Queensland recorded 19 COVID-19 deaths and 4,701 new cases in the latest reporting period with the Premier announcing the Check-in app will not be required at some businesses.
Chief Health Officer Dr John Gerrard said of the state's deaths, 10 were in aged care facilities, nine were unvaccinated and only one had received a booster.
"I must emphasise that it's important to say people do die in aged care it's the nature of the environment and there is a high mortality in aged care because you have people with a lot of medical problems and sorting out how many of them, of those individuals, who have died as a direct cause of COVID-19 is often very difficult," he said.
"It's just the disproportionate number who have not been boosted that is concerning me most of all."
Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk said the state was "coming down off the peak" with 663 cases now in public hospitals and 43 in ICU.
"Those decisions that we took were absolutely the right decisions."
Ms Palaszczuk announced the use of the Check-in app was no longer required at places like shops and taxis, but people would still need to show their vaccination status to enter certain venues.
Health Minister Yvette D'Ath said people visiting pubs, clubs, cafes and restaurants would still need to check in, and those who were unvaccinated would still not be allowed in.
"So businesses such as clubs, hotels, and those venues will still operate the check-in for the purpose of confirming vaccination status and allowing us still to ensure checking of compliance with mandatory vaccination," she said.
"Now that means taxis and rideshare, that means retail supermarkets, it also means hairdressing, beauty therapy, gyms, many of those indoor play centres, real estate and auction houses, indoor sports centres.
"All of those areas will no longer need to, and any part of government buildings or services where the public ordinarily have access to, will not need to check in now."
Queensland peak hit last week
She said it was a great step forward.
"Our analysis of the data of hospitalisations, ICU, and even deaths has shown that we have managed this virus through the Omicron wave better than our larger states across the east coast of Australia," she said.
"And that really comes down to the great work of Queenslanders following the health advice and doing the right thing and I want to thank every one of them for doing that."
She said the data showed the peak in hospitalisations was last week.
"We are now showing declines across the state or stabilisation of COVID cases across the state," she said.
"That doesn't mean that we still don't have pressures in some of our hospitals with high hospitalisation rates ... and also high ICU rates, but they are far lower, far far lower than what our modelling showed we could have expected."
