COVID-19 UPDATE: Two positive cases active in community

A man who tested positive while in New South Wales travelled to Ballina and was collected from the airport by the flight attendant, whose positive test result was announced yesterday before travelling to greater Brisbane and the Gold Coast.

The man travelled to Ballina on flight VA1139 on July 14. It is now believed the flight attendant caught the highly contagious Delta variant of COVID-19 from him.

Since then, they have visited a number of locations on the Gold Coast in throughout greater Brisbane. 

A number of new possible exposure locations were added to the Queensland Health website late yesterday including venues at Morayfield and Sandgate.

Deputy Premier Steven Miles says he expects more to be added today.

He says the risk to the community remains real and he is urging residents to continue wearing their mask, to monitor exposure site locations and look out for symptoms.

Today's new positive case will be added to New South Wales' total, but there are now 26 active cases in Queensland. Five were detected in hotel quarantine yesterday.
