A woman has tested positive to COVID-19 in Queensland overnight.
Queensland Health said in a statement that the woman, aged in her 30s, had completed 14 days of hotel quarantine at 9:00am on Saturday.
She had returned negative tests during hotel quarantine.
A follow-up test on June 19 shortly after leaving hotel quarantine — which was as part of routine aircrew surveillance — came back positive on Saturday evening.
The woman has been out in the community, travelling in a private shuttle bus to accommodation in Hamilton, north of Brisbane yesterday morning, before going to the DFO shopping centre near Brisbane airport and the CBD in the afternoon and a restaurant in the early evening.
Queensland Chief Health Officer Jeannette Young said while the risk is low she was taking a very cautious approach.
"She came into Brisbane on June 5 on an Emirates flight and we know she had contact with a positive case on that flight who had the Delta variant," Dr Young said.
COVID-19 vaccines are free. Get vaccinated, folks.
