There are now 443 confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Queensland after the State’s tally officially rose by 46 on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Health Minister Steven Miles said most cases still involved people returning from overseas.<\/p>\n

Two of the confirmed cases are in intensive care.<\/p>\n

Also on Wednesday, Queensland Health issued a Public Health Alert for the Sunshine Coast after four staff members who served patrons at Sails Restaurant in Noosa last week tested positive.<\/p>\n

This followed the news that at least 20 people associated with a private function at Sails Restaurant on March 14 had been confirmed as having COVID-19.<\/p>\n

The staff members worked at the restaurant on Wednesday, August 18, from 4:00pm-11:15pm and on Thursday, March 19,\u00a0from 3:00pm-10:00pm while unknowingly infectious.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Queensland Health is calling for people who attended the restaurant during these times to monitor their health for 14 days from those dates and see a doctor immediately if they develop any symptoms.<\/p>\n

While the risk is very low, some patrons could potentially have been exposed, a Queensland Health spokesperson said.<\/p>\n

There is no risk to anyone who has been to this restaurant before or after this period.<\/p>\n

Sails Restaurant has been closed since March 23.<\/p>\n

There are now 16 confirmed cases of COVID-19 in the Darling Downs Hospital and Health Service region – up one since Tuesday.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This latest confirmed case is from Toowoomba, and is a direct contact to a confirmed case of a returned traveller.<\/p>\n

“Contact tracing is underway for this new case. Our public health team is working hard to ensure all community members who were in contact with confirmed cases and are at a high risk are notified,” a spokesperson said.<\/p>\n

Queensland Health said there were also seven confirmed cases in the Wide Bay Health region, an increase of one on Tuesday’s total.<\/p>\n

The largest number of confirmed cases are in the Metro North region (124), Metro South (104), Gold Coast (87) and Sunshine Coast (52).<\/p>\n

Queensland Health confirmed on Wednesday night that a second Queenslander – a former passenger on a cruise ship – had died from COVID-19.<\/p>\n

The 68-year-old Toowoomba man had a serious underlying medical condition before contracting the virus.<\/p>\n
