Public health alert issued after infectious fruit picker flies from Melbourne into Queensland

"There's two flights, the contacts in Brisbane, who will have to be tested and quarantined, those who travelled on the transport from Bundaberg airport and those in the shared accommodation and those working with him on the farm."

Queensland authorities are in the process of contacting people from Virgin Flight VA313, Melbourne to Brisbane, on June 1 and Virgin Flight VA2905, Brisbane to Bundaberg, on June 2.The state's Chief Health Officer Jeannette Young said so far four people the man lived with in shared accommodation in Bundaberg had tested negative."I am waiting on a whole range of other tests to come back later today for other contacts," she said.

"But it is really important that people who live in Brisbane or in Bundaberg don't wait for a phone call from a contact tracer."This is a time for heightened alertness for all our population in Brisbane and Bundaberg.

How

Baffling on so many fronts.

So anyone can fly into Qld for a job?

No testing no positives

I thought the borders were closed to prevent just this kind of thing....

Isn't Qld border closed?

Was he picking paw paw's? In Tanzania a paw paw and a goat tested positive to Covid-19. The plandemic is over people. Stop with the panic porn please.

Whats his name? Lets all shame him! Pine o cleen can you send his family some free boxes of disinfectant

He should be in jail - in isolation, of course. And fined heavily. What an incredibly ignorant, selfish, and stupid thing to do. And where are our border controls at the airport? Oh, in the meantime, send him to the protest rallies planned for tomorrow - that should work well…!

He has the virus and decided to travel regardless.....selfish and irresponsible man!!! He decides to import the Virus from Vic to QLD, how mighty generous of him......give to your loved and friends too. Brilliant. How smart, how cool NOT.He gives the Vic people a bad name!!!!

Unfortunately there will be more ppl infected. Shutting down for 2 months just delayed the virus. It didn't stop it.

Why is this crap still happening? Social Distancing? Nah, just party with all my mates.

So the bloke was around someone who had it and decided to travel and go on as life is normal? Can he take an IQ test aswell
