A Young Child and Hotel Quarantine Cleaner Test Positive for the CCP Virus in Queensland
A young child in hotel quarantine in Queensland has tested positive for the CCP virus after returning from the UK, along with a member of a hotel quarantine cleaning staff, the state’s government reported on Thursday.
Genome sequencing is underway to determine if either of those infected with the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus (novel coronavirus) has the new UK strain that is allegedly 70 percent more infections than the original strain.
The cleaner who worked at the Grand Chancellor hotel developed systems on Wednesday and was tested the same day, returning a positive result later that night.
Anyone who has been in Victoria on or since December 21 has been urged to get a COVID test immediately and then quarantine after contacts of Victorian cases were found in Queensland.
