Coronavirus test results from contacts of COVID-infected Brisbane doctor expected back today, will determine if Queensland has community transmission
Test results that should show if any community transmission of COVID-19 has occurred after a doctor contracted the disease at a Brisbane hospital last week are expected as soon as today.
Key points:
- Brisbane’s Hotel Grand Chancellor is being investigated again after it was placed in lockdown for a second time
- Hundreds of test results from possible contacts of an infected doctor could be known today
- Healthcare workers will receive the second Pfizer vaccine jab this week, marking the first group of Queenslanders to be fully inoculated
Tests have been carried out on about 306 potential contacts of the doctor — including staff and patients at the Princess Alexandra (PA) Hospital, and patrons of four southside venues she attended last Thursday.
