A fresh Covid-19 exposure site has been listed in Queensland after another infected truck driver entered the state from NSW.
A fresh Covid-19 exposure site has been listed in Queensland after another infected truck driver entered the state from NSW.
State authorities listed a site at Archerfield overnight after the truck driver tested positive to the virus.
The truck driver was infectious in the Queensland community for two days on September 2 and 3 before returning home to New South Wales.
He visited the BP Service Station on the corner of Randolph St and Boundary Rd at Archerfield on September 2 from 1am to 1.30am and 6.10pm to 6.45pm.
It comes after two other infectious truck drivers, one from NSW and one from QLD, visited sites around the state.
Authorities remain concerned about a positive case in a four-year-old girl from Beenleigh linked to one of the drivers, a 46 year-old from Logan.
The girl is the daughter of an administrative officer who works in the same area of the truck company‘s headquarters and is a family friend of the truck driver.
The girl was infectious in the community for two days before being tested.
Chief health officer Jeanette Young said she was “very concerned” about community transmission due to the truck driver’s high viral load.
Queenslanders living in the Beenleigh, Logan and Upper Gold Coast areas have been asked to remain on alert for symptoms amid murmurs of another lockdown to combat the Delta variant, which Dr Young said was “unfortunately still a possibility”.
The Beenleigh Marketplace has been listed as a close contact site linked to the positive cases.
Both positive cases visited the Beenleigh Marketplace shopping centre and a nail salon last Monday while the truck driver was infectious.
“It depends if we find cases who went to the Beenleigh Marketplace and have since then been out infectious in the community in an uncontrolled situation, then that would lead me to think we need to consider a lockdown,” Dr Young said.
Dr Young said only one person used the check-in app at the nail salon and health authorities were now trying to work out who else had been there.
