Mystery COVID-19 case sparks public health alert in Brisbane

Queensland contact tracers are racing to track down the source of a new COVID-19 infection revealed late on Monday.

The man in his 30s appears to have visited a childcare centre, furniture shop and a McDonald’s in Brisbane’s north and a company in the city’s south specialising in vehicle seating.

Health authorities said the man worked in the aviation industry but had not recently travelled outside of the state. They’re still investigating how he got sick.
