TRACES of COVID-19 have been detected in wastewater at Ipswich treatment plants for the second time in three months.

The find comes about six weeks following an initial positive detection at the Carole Park facility in October. Traces of COVID-19 were detected at the Wacol treatment plant during recent routine tests.
The areas serviced by the treatment plant include suburbs such as Springfield, Camira and Carole Park in Ipswich and Ellen Grove in Brisbane.
