Queensland lifts its travel restrictions with Victoria but remains closed to Sydney as the state records just one new Covid case

Queensland lifts its travel restrictions with Victoria as the state records just one overnight Covid case. 

The new community case is linked to the flight attendant who tested positive last Sunday.

Chief Health Officer Dr Jeanette Young said at a press conference in Brisbane that the new case was a man in his 60s who was currently in home quarantine. 

He had visited the Portuguese Family Centre in Ellen Grove which the flight attendant had also attended on Saturday afternoon.

‘He went into home quarantine the next day when he was contacted,’ she said 

Another two cases have been detected in hotel quarantine. 

It was also revealed that all 36 people who had attended the Portuguese restaurant on the southern outskirts of Brisbane 7.00 and 7.50pm on Saturday night had now entered home quarantine.

Dr Young said preliminary investigations into how the flight crew members became infected suggested a quarantine staff member was involved.

“We’re looking at CCTV footage as we speak,” she said.
