People in Queensland who have been to any of the declared exposure sites in Western Australia have been told to quarantine immediately.

Three cases of COVID-19 were recorded in Perth on Saturday, including a security guard who was infected with the virus while working at the Pan Pacific quarantine hotel.

WA Health has released a list of exposure sites dating back to April 27.

Queensland's Deputy Chief Health Officer Sonya Bennett said the new Interstate Exposure Venues Direction applied to anyone who had been to the locations during the risk period.

"If you are entering Queensland and have been to any of the WA exposure sites at the time specified, you will need to quarantine for 14 days in government-arranged accommodation," Dr Bennett said.

"If you have been to any of these sites and are already in Queensland, you must call 13 HEALTH to discuss your circumstances.

"You must immediately travel by private transport directly to your home or accommodation and quarantine until you receive further instructions from Queensland Health.

"This direction is in place to protect the health and safety of Queenslanders and travellers who come here."

Both New Zealand and the Northern Territory have also adjusted travel guidelines from WA, with New Zealand pausing flights altogether.

Queensland Health is encouraging everyone to monitor the interstate exposure venue lists for 14 days after they arrive, to ensure no new venues have been added, including in New Zealand.

Queensland recorded no new cases in the past 24 hours.

WA also recorded zero new cases overnight.
