Queensland finds ‘missing link’ case that sparked Brisbane lockdown

Queensland finds ‘missing link’ case that sparked a coronavirus outbreak locking down Brisbane and almost ruined thousands of Easter travel plans

Queensland has tracked down the missing link between a doctor who was infected with coronavirus weeks ago and the outbreak that locked down Brisbane.

Chief medical officer Jeanette Young said a nurse caught the virus from the doctor, who got it from an Australian returning from Europe who was hospitalised.

The nurse then unwittingly gave it to her partner and from there spread it to their friends, forming the cluster.

More to come.
