Deputy Premier and Health Minister Dr Steven Miles

August 26, 2020

One new confirmed case of COVID-19 linked to the Brisbane Youth Detention Centre cluster was reported in Queensland on Wednesday morning.

The Forest Lake resident is a close contact of one of the previous 10 cases in the cluster and was already in quarantine.

Health Minister Dr Steven Miles said 20,856 tests had been conducted during the past 24 hours – a record number for Queensland.

Chief Health Officer Dr Jeannette Young said there had still been no community transmission due to the original five cases at the centre.

“We need to keep alert for that,” Dr Young said.

“There is still a risk over the next week that we will see that because those people were out and about in the community.”

She said Queensland needed to keep up a very high rate of testing as the link for this cluster was still unknown.

“Where did they actually originally get it from? Which means we could have more cases out there in the community that have resulted in this cluster,” Dr Young said.

The final results of testing of staff and detainees at the Youth Detention Centre are expected to be known on Thursday.

There are currently 16 active cases in Queensland.

In Victoria, 24 more deaths were announced on Wednesday morning as well as 149 new confirmed cases.

Although the death toll is Victoria’s second highest during this second wave, the number of new cases is continuing to trend downwards.

The total Australian death toll since the pandemic began is now 549.
