The Queensland government has denied it ever planned to make domestic travellers require a Covid PCR test certificate on arrival in the state.

Queensland will scrap quarantine for fully vaccinated travellers who provide a negative PCR test from hotspots once 80% of Queenslanders are double-dosed.

The federal health minister, Greg Hunt, confirmed on Tuesday night the cost of the PCR tests will be covered by the commonwealth and departure states.

His confirmation came after an almost week-long feud with the Queensland government over who would fork out for the tests.

Hunt says the only reason test funding was in doubt was because Queensland required a PCR test certificate.

"It was put under some doubt from the Queensland premier," he told Nine's Today program on Wednesday morning.

"We have a suspicion it may have been an accident, but I am pleased that the existing arrangements are there."
