Authorities are racing to identify potential Covid-19 exposure sites after a doctor tested positive to the virus, plunging a major hospital into lockdown.
The junior medic at Brisbane s Princess Alexandra Hospital was infectious while out in the community on Thursday, though his exact movements are not yet clear.
The doctor had treated a patient with the ultra-infectious UK variant of the virus and returned a positive result on Friday.
Chief Health Officer Jeannette Young will likely provide further details about the case and places he visited on Saturday.
Queensland is just hours away from enjoying a fresh easing of its remaining lockdown restrictions, but this has now been called into question.
