Home quarantine trials will soon begin in Queensland, starting with 1000 stranded Aussies who have been hand-picked to participate.
9News understands that strict conditions will be in place on those who choose to accept the measures, with returning residents required to live in a home in one of eight south-east Queensland local government areas.
Participants must already be residents of the Sunshine State, not relocating and must arrive in Brisbane by air.

Other household residents who are already in Queensland can opt to vacate the property for 14 days if they cannot commit to staying there for the entire period.
The new program is set to affect tens of thousands of Queenslanders if the trial proves successful.
