Queensland Health has issued a public health alert in regards to a confirmed COVID-19 case.<\/p>\n

Japanese health authorities advised Queensland Health on Wednesday that a woman had tested positive for COVID-19 after returning to Japan from Brisbane, via Sydney.<\/p>\n

The public health alert is for passengers who travelled on Virgin flight VA962 from Brisbane to Sydney on Monday, August 17, and anyone who dined at The Jam Pantry caf\u00e9 at Greenslopes on Sunday, August 16.<\/p>\n

Queensland Chief Health Officer Dr Jeannette Young said contact tracing was under way, and appropriate action had been taken at all relevant locations.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe woman arrived in Australia in mid-July and was in hotel quarantine in Sydney for two weeks prior to coming to Brisbane. While in quarantine, she returned two negative test results,\u201d Dr Young said.<\/p>\n

\u201cBecause she quarantined in Sydney and travelled straight to Brisbane from hotel quarantine, she could go about her normal life in Brisbane.<\/p>\n

\u201cHowever, on her arrival to Japan (on) August 18, she was asymptomatic but returned a positive COVID-19 result.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cWhile we are still determining where the virus may have been acquired, we are working with Japanese authorities to gather necessary information.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have been in touch with six close contacts in Brisbane identified by the woman. These people have been tested and are now in quarantine.\u201d<\/p>\n

Queensland Health is working with NSW Health to contact people from Virgin flight VA962.<\/p>\n

All passengers on the flight have been asked to monitor their health and if they develop any symptoms, come forward for testing immediately.<\/p>\n

Any individuals who dined at The Jam Pantry caf\u00e9 at Greenslopes on August 16 between 9:45am and 11:00am will be contacted by the local Public Health Unit.<\/p>\n

Anyone else who dined at the caf\u00e9 outside these hours on that day should come forward for testing if they develop any COVID-19 symptoms.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
