Earlier this week it was revealed a Covid-19-positive patient who stayed at a Brisbane backpackers’ hostel for more than a week was unknowingly infectious in the community for four days.
Queensland Health has identified a number of exposure sites relating to the state’s latest case.
The man had attended City Backpackers and Joe’s Place Backpackers on dates from Tuesday, July 20, to Wednesday, July 28.
Authorities believe he was infectious for four days from July 22-26.
A number of low-risk exposure sites were also identified at Brisbane’s domestic airport, the Royal Brisbane and Women’s Hospital and Harbour Town Shopping Centre on the Gold Coast.
Earlier this week, the list of Queensland Covid-19 exposure sites has been updated to include a shopping centre and sports store.
Westfield Helensvale on the Gold Coast was the latest shopping centre to be added to contact tracing lists when a fully vaccinated man tested positive to the virus after completing hotel quarantine following a trip from China.
A positive case attended Kmart in Westfield on Monday, July 12, with anyone having attended the site from 5pm – 5.30pm considered a casual contact.
Sporty’s Warehouse was also added to the list as a low-risk contact on 19 July.
Dates and hours that positive cases attended sites across the Gold Coast, including Pacific Fair Shopping Centre and the Q Super Centre, have been revised.
Earlier, there were 18 new contact tracing alerts for Goodstart Early Learning Parkwood on the Gold Coast from July 13 to 23.
Harbour Town Shopping Centre was also added to the list after a positive case went to Yum Cha Cuisine on July 17, and Mermaid’s Q Super Centre had Black Swan Coffee as an exposure site.
Across Brisbane more sites were also added in the Banyo, Nundah and Chermside areas.
Queensland Health said in a statement that the new venues were linked to a positive case who entered Queensland on July 14 from New South Wales.
Close contacts must immediately quarantine and get tested at the earliest opportunity and fill out contact tracing form, then quarantine until notified by Queensland Health even if a negative result is returned.
Casual contacts must get tested and quarantine until a negative result is returned, low risk contacts should get tested but don’t need to isolate.
Earlier, three barber shops in Chermside Shopping Centre were announced as exposure sites after a Sydney man who travelled via Ballina entered Queensland ignoring quarantine orders.
The barber shops include Tommy Gun’s, Jimmy Rods and Col Naylor.
