Queensland has recorded 37 COVID-related deaths and 6,300 new cases in the latest reporting period.
Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk has announced 29 of the 37 deaths came from death certificates reported to the Department of Births, Deaths and Marriages last week.
"Births, Deaths and Marriages report to Queensland Health on a weekly basis and this reporting is reflected in today's data," Ms Palaszczuk told parliament.
"Many of these people have had underlying health conditions."
Of the 37 deaths, 22 were in residential aged care.
There are currently 379 people in public hospitals with COVID-19, 35 of those are in intensive care.
"Can I express my condolences to families who have lost loved ones in this Omicron wave," Ms Palaszczuk said.
The Premier said 90.66 per cent of Queenslanders are fully vaccinated and 92.59 per cent have received a single dose.
Of the eligible population, 63 per cent of Queenslanders have had their booster shot and 42 per cent of children aged between five and 11 have had their first shot of the vaccine.
"Of course we want to see that lifted up as we head towards March 4," she said.
The Premier yesterday announced mask requirements across the state would be eased at 6pm on March 4.
Elective surgeries set to resume
Elective surgery will resume in public hospitals across Queensland next week, the Health Minister has announced.
Yvette D'Ath told parliament there will be a "state-wide staged restart" of elective surgery from February 28, initially focusing on the "most urgent matters".
"While elective surgery has already started in some hospital and health services, this restart will mean all Queensland Health services will once again be performing elective surgeries," she said.
