Chief health officer Dr Jeanette Young said the man travelled through on September 7 and 카베진 직구 a number of exposure sites have been identified.
The case is the second in a week of a Covid-positive truck driver crossing the border after a man was found to be infectious in the Queensland capital’s southern suburbs on September 5 and 6.
Chief Health Officer Dr Jeanette Young said the state was ‘not out of the woods’ but Sunday was a good result
From Saturday, only essential workers who’ve been medically screened and are wearing masks will be allowed in to prisons from Maryborough south to the border and west to Gatton, Queensland Corrective Services said
Health authorities said Sunday would be critical in determining if the state would be forced into lockdown after a family of five in Brisbane also tested positive on Friday and Saturday.
The five new cases of the Delta variant are all members of the same family who live across two households, including a 13-year-old schoolgirl from Sunnybank.
Dr Young praised the girl’s mother who got her tested very quickly and thanked the more than 1,000 students and family members of the girl’s school Sir Thomas Moore College who are in lockdown.
‘We’re not out of the woods yet, but this is the best result we could have hoped for at this point in the outbreak,’ Deputy Premier Steven Miles said.
The family of five caught the virus after a group of three men travelled from NSW – two of which tested positive for Covid – and one stayed with the father from the family.
‘I’m now confident that’s where the virus came into Queensland,’ Dr Young said.
She said the men had been granted passes to cross Queensland’s closed border.However only one of the men – who was Covid-negative – was fully-vaccinated.

She also said the two cases had visited the Gold Coast and urged residents there to monitor for symptoms.
Dr Young also revealed there was an overseas-acquired case found in Townsville.
‘There’s been a miner who works in West Africa, 카베진 직구 who returned home from West Africa and went to Charters Towers and Townsville and tested positive, but I’m very, very confident that’s a historical case,’ she said.
Also announced on Saturday is that Queensland is to make vaccinations for health workers compulsory from October.
Health minister Yvette D’Ath said every health worker including cleaners, security and admin staff would need their ‘first dose by the end of this month, and to be fully vaccinated by the end of October’.

However, 카베진 직구 about 13,500 hospital based staff remain unvaccinated.
More than 1,000 students and family members have been ordered into home quarantine for the next 14 days
