Health Minister Steven Miles is giving us details on the Queensland case from this morning and has announced there is a second case related to the first:
"Four now in hospital, seven of those active.
"Both of the new cases are 19-year-old women, one from Logan, one from Acacia Ridge.
"They are both now being cared for at the PA Hospital.
"They both travelled together recently, including returning to Brisbane from Melbourne on July 21 via Sydney.
"They travelled on flights VA 863 and VA 977.
"The Queensland Health contact tracers are identifying close contacts from those flights.
"One of them works at Parklands Christian College and you will have seen that families were notified of the potential exposure last night.
"I understand an event that was planned last night was cancelled and now that the school is closed as a deep clean is going under way.
"Close contacts at the school are being identified. Testing capability will be set up at the school and be operational this afternoon.
"Rapid testing capability will now be deployed right through the region.
"These young women have gone about their business within the communities that they live in and so there will be a large amount of contact tracing to be done, largely within it the Logan and Springfield areas, including shopping malls, restaurants and a church.
"Our contact tracers are doing that work right now.
