Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk says that the infected people have been out in the community and travelled to central Queensland and northern NSW.
Brisbane, Logan, Moreton Bay, Ipswich and Redlands are all in lockdown until Thursday evening.
People will only be allowed to leave home to simply do essential work, shop, care for people or exercise.
“I didn’t sleep last night so I think I am very worried, I’m very concerned,” Ms Palaszczuk said.
“But we’ve done it before, we’ve got through this together, and I’m sure that if everyone does the right thing we will be able to get through it.”
Ms Palaszczuk said the lockdown would be reviewed on Thursday, just in time for the Easter lockdown weekend.
