Central Queenslanders have turned out en-masse to get COVID tests after the region was jolted into action by a virus scare on Monday.
A visit with family between March 25 and 28, from a former Gladstone man who now lives in Brisbane, sparked community concern.
The man, who was unknowingly positive with the virus after contracting it from a workmate, was only advised of his possible status when called by his boss on Saturday, March 27.
He immediately masked up and went and got tested at Gladstone Hospital.
A Queensland Health Service spokeswoman said Central Queenslanders should be congratulated for adhering to public health directions.
