ABC News (Australia) published this video item, entitled “Queensland records two new locally acquired COVID cases linked to Portuguese restaurant | ABC News” – below is their description.
Queensland has recorded two new cases of community transmission of COVID-19 linked to a cluster stemming from a leak from hotel quarantine last weekend.
Both of today’s infections were close contacts related to the Portuguese Family Centre in Ellen Grove in Brisbane’s south-west.
Chief Health Officer Jeannette Young said they were in quarantine during their infectious period, so not a risk to the public.
“We now have seven cases related to that cluster, related to the lady that came from Portugal,” she said.
Dr Young said anyone who was at the DFO near Brisbane Airport between 4:00pm and 4:30pm on Saturday afternoon who has not been tested should do so as a precaution.
“Even if you do not have any symptoms so that we can make sure and be very confident that we have not had any ongoing transmission,” she said.
The cluster, all with the alpha variant of the coronavirus, began with a woman from Portugal who tested positive in the community hours after completing 14 days of mandatory hotel quarantine.
It since spread to two more of her close contacts, as well as two others from the Portuguese Family Centre.
