Queensland Health on Friday night classified one venue as requiring a “close contact” response.
Anyone who attended Mamma’s Italian Restaurant,69 Redcliffe Parade,Redcliffe,in Brisbane’s north-east,between 12.30pm and 3.10pm on March 21 must quarantine at home immediately for 14 days since visiting,even if a negative COVID-19 test result is received,and complete a contact tracing self-assessment if not already contacted by Queensland Health.
Eight further locations across Brisbane have been identified as “casual contact” venues,including a Westfield,Aldi and Bunnings,and another two locations as “low risk”.
NSW Health said:“Anyone who has attended casual contact venueslisted on the[Queensland Health] website during the relevant times is asked to immediately get tested regardless of symptoms and self-isolate until a negative result is returned.”
Queensland’s Chief Health Officer Jeannette Young said the man,a landscaper from Stafford in the city’s north,developed symptoms on Monday and was tested at Nundah on Thursday.
The 26-year-old returned a positive result for the B.1.1.7 variant,also known as the UK strain.
