A man who tested positive to COVID-19 after unwittingly entering the green zone at Brisbane International Airport is posing "less and less of a risk" to the community, authorities say.
Two passengers from Papua New Guinea (PNG) travelling on a red flight, who had initially both tested negative, were accidentally allowed to wander into the green zone at the airport for around two hours from 9.30am on Thursday.
One man was later revealed to be positive to COVID-19, sparking fears he could have exposed hundreds of passengers to the virus, however Queensland Chief Health Officer Jeanette Young today said authorities the risk of an outbreak was "very low".
