A 12-year-old boy is among three new cases of coronavirus in Queensland, all potentially unlinked to previous clusters, that have caused authorities to hold off on easing restrictions as they scramble to do contact tracing.
Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk said the boy had arrived in Sydney on June 21 and completed quarantine there, before flying into Brisbane on QF544 on July 9.
“That 12-year-old has tested positive. The close contact of the 12-year-old, a parent, has tested positive, and then we also have in addition to that, at the international airport, we also have a fully vaccinated international airport worker who has tested positive.”
