Partner of Brisbane hotel cleaner with UK variant of coronavirus tests positive to COVID-19
The partner of the hotel cleaner who tested positive for the UK variant of coronavirus earlier this month, has also tested positive for COVID-19, but Queensland Health says it will not impact the easing of lockdown restrictions in Greater Brisbane.
The region was plunged into lockdown on Friday, following the cleaner’s case, with restrictions set to ease at 6:00pm.
Queensland Chief Health Officer Jeannette Young said the woman’s partner had been in quarantine since January 7.
“Genome sequencing is underway, however it’s likely to be the UK variant,” she said.
“We are determining the man’s potential infectious period and contact tracing is underway.
