The woman flew in on Jetstar flight JQ570 at 11pm on January 5 after arriving from the UK to Melbourne on Boxing Day.
Quote:"She got tested in hotel quarantine there on December 27, and she was found to be positive.
"So she was then isolated and did the 10 days required isolation, cleared all her symptoms, and was allowed to leave Victoria and fly to Queensland on January 5.
In spite of being cleared to travel to Queensland, she still tested positive.
Never going to get on top of the virus while this sort of thing keeps happening.
Oh, and...
Quote:"The risk is extremely low, very, very, very low because she is right at the end of her potential infectious period".
Yeah, we keep hearing about this "low" risk. Been hearing it over and over since the first COVID-19 case flew into Australia late in January last year. Tell it to all the people who have lost their jobs and the owners who have had to close their businesses - some of them permanently.
