Queensland has recorded four new community cases of COVID-19 in the past 24 hours, but authorities say a lockdown is not warranted "at this stage".

The four cases include a man from Eatons Hill who Queensland Health announced as a mystery case on Monday night, as well as his wife.

An unvaccinated truck driver who was staying in shared accommodation has also tested positive, and was infectious in the community for eight days.

He stayed at two hotels in Brisbanes inner city — The Royal Albert and The Metropolitan — and the Adalong Guesthouse in South Brisbane.

Authorities are most concerned about the Adalong as it has shared facilities such as bathrooms and kitchens.

Chief Health Officer Jeannette Young said the two clusters were unrelated.
