What’s the new case?

A Banyo woman in her 30s. She is a flight attendant and worked on regional Qantas routes in Queensland and NSW. Genome sequencing has revealed she has the highly-contagious Delta variant which is circulating in NSW.

Where did the woman get it?

Authorities don’t know yet. But the case is not linked to any of Queensland’s recent outbreaks.

Where has the woman been?

She crewed six flights between July 11 and 12. The flights are:

July 11, Brisbane to Longreach, Qantas flight 2534

July 11, Longreach to Brisbane, Qantas flight 2535

July 11, Brisbane to Gladstone, Qantas flight 2346

The woman stayed overnight in Gladstone on July 11 at the Mercure Hotel.

July 12, Gladstone to Brisbane, Qantas flight 2331

July 12, Brisbane to Hervey Bay, Qantas flight 2374

July 12, Hervey Bay to Brisbane, Qantas flight 2375

Contact tracers are working with the woman. Everyone is urged to check the list of exposure sites. Anyone who has been to these airports needs to monitor their symptoms, and if they develop any, get tested.

Is it strange there haven’t been more cases given the woman was infectious since July 11?

Chief health officer Jeannette Young said the case wasn’t making much sense to her because there hadn’t been other cases yet that were linked, despite the Delta variant usually spreading within two days. She said she needs more information. But Dr Young is happy high levels of testing have been recorded in recent weeks.
