Queensland records four new COVID-19 cases

The long list of close contact exposure sites across Queensland has soared yet again with nearly 20 venues added on Monday for popular stores in Brisbane’s south, west and central.

Nearly 10 stores were located in the Westfield Garden City at Upper Mount Gravatt alone, including an Optus store and a Woolworths.

The Indooroopilly Shopping Centre was also featured with shoppers at the K-Mart, JB Hi-Fi and Woolworths listed as close contacts while the St Lucia Golf Links pro shop was added as well as a convenience store in Kangaroo Point.

The new additions came after a pharmacy and two different Sunshine Coast cafes were earlier listed as exposure sites as the state recorded four new locally acquired cases were recorded on Monday.

Of the new cases confirmed on Monday, one is a worker from the DFO and another is a woman who has been staying in Tarragindi with family and is a close contact of one of the cases previously linked to the Greek centre.

Chief health officer Dr Jeannette Young said the third case was a colleague of the man who travelled up to Eumundi before testing positive.

This case lives in Sinnamon Park, and Queensland Health are now talking to him for additional contact tracing information. The fourth case is the partner of the man who travelled to Eumundi.

Anyone who has been at the current sites at the listed times should isolate immediately and contact health authorities to complete their 14 days quarantine:
