A quick-thinking doctor saved Brisbane from another snap lockdown by getting tested immediately after contracting Covid-19 from an infected hospital patient.
The infected person was staying on the same floor as at the Hotel Grand Chancellor as another infected traveller now at the Princess Alexandra Hospital.
That patient had contact with a doctor who later became infected with coronavirus, forcing the hospital into lock down. Case one is the person brought into the hospital on the March 9, case two was the doctor who got it off the person who came in on the 9th, Health Minister Yvette D Ath told reporters on Sunday.

Queensland has one new case of COVID-19, but it is likely historical and not connected to the case of a doctor at Brisbane's Princess Alexandra Hospital who tested positive, the state's health authorities say.
