Queensland’s Chief Health Officer Dr Jeannette Young is still urging people to get tested even though the Melbourne couple who tested positive are believed to have been at the end of their infectious period while they were in the state.
“[It is] very good news for Queensland, in that means the risk of transmission to anyone else is less,” Dr Young said.
“It’s still there, and I still need everyone to come forward who develops any symptoms at all who lives in the Sunshine Coast, or Goondiwindi or Toowoomba . anyone who’s been to any of those many venue sites, it’s vital that they come forward.
