Chief Health Officer Dr Jeannette Young confirmed on Thursday morning both the woman – confirmed positive on Wednesday – and her husband had now tested positive to COVID-19.
She said they both appeared to be at a late stage of infection.
Dr Young said there were no plans at this stage to lock down aged care facilities, hospitals or jails.
However, she urged anyone who had had attended any of the exposure sites to get tested as soon as possible and isolate until they get a negative result.
Queensland Health has identified 17 close contacts of the original couple, including the parents in the Caloundra household where the couple was staying. So far, all have tested negative.
