Mr Turner was believed to have not worked since November,or travelled overseas or outside Blackwater since February.
He became the seventh Queenslander,and the youngest Australian,to die with COVID-19. His exact cause of death was yet to be determined.
Queensland Chief Health Officer Jeannette Young said the positive COVID-19 test result came back about 11pm on Tuesday.
"He has a complicated medical history and that also needs to be worked through,"Dr Young said.
"We believe he was at home for that time and we believe he’s had symptoms for several weeks."
