Even on this 2nd most deadliest day in Victoria there is hope with the number of infections is stabilizing. However in the sunny state of Queensland there was 1 only case of COVID-19 detected from 20,000 tests done. The state’s Chief Health Officer Dr Jeanette Young congratulated Queenslanders but said there may be more cases in the community yet to be detected. This new positive was also related to the cluster of Wacol Youth Detention Centre.
“We have not seen any community transmission due to any of the original five cases of those youth workers at the centre,” Dr Young said.
“We need to keep alert for that. There is still a risk over the next week that we will see that because those people were out and about in the community.”
Queensland currently has 16 active cases and has now carried out more than 20,000 tests.
“The highest level of testing results,” Ms Palaszczuk said.
Dr Young also thanked the “well over 15,000 people came forward to be tested which is really, really good”.
