Premier Gladys Berejiklian says an outbreak of the highly contagious UK coronavirus strain in a Brisbane hotel is a "real worry" as NSW Health officials scramble to identify anyone who may have been exposed.The NSW Premier warned even one case could create a problem in her stateNSW Health issued an alert for anyone who had been at Brisbane's Hotel Grand Chancellor since December 30, either as a returning traveller or a staff member.
Ms Berejiklian said health authorities in her state were working closely with their Queensland counterparts to identify any NSW residents who quarantined at the hotel during that period. "What we know about the new strains of the virus is that after 14 days you may still be contagious and that's why it's important for them to get tested, stay home and isolate for at least the 14 days and wait for the health advice before they go back out into the community."It comes after Queensland Health identified six cases of the UK strain in a hotel cleaner, her partner and four returned travellers.
"When ... you don't know how the virus was transmitted, you don't know whether people left the building unintentionally with the virus, that's when it's a real worry," Ms Berejiklian said.
Thats because you not there with your lover.
I always thought flus were infectious, not contagious. Gladys does not have a clue and only says things for political purposes.
She’s quick to stack the shit on everyone else but calls for timeout when it’s her under fire
As were your OUTBREAKS! Stop POLITICIZING this virus!
Really? This from someone who has no issue with her own stuff ups, demands for other states to open their borders, and never once have I seen photos of her actually wearing a mask herself, as some kind of leadership initiative...
GladysB Close the borders . Before it's too late . everything is not about the money.
GladysB ,As you you say to MarkMcGowanMP, you look after your backyard. Annastacia Palaszczuk is more than capable than you . sorry but that's the truth.
Close the borders . Before it's too late . everything is not about the money.

I’m so concerned here in QLD, I thought I’d take the family camping. I wouldn’t be game enough to do that in NSW with their CT of Covid.
Ruby Princess and zero accountability is a concern for us
🤣🤣🤣
On a scale of Avalon outbreak to Ruby Princess, about how concerning is it?
The inly “real concern” is you GladysB
Then shut your borders to qld Berejiklian 🤣 we won’t mind 🙌🏽
The amount of corruption gladys is involved in is a concern for Australia .
Surely these people had their contact details recorded while they were quarantined in the hotel?
Wow. Gladys Berejklian is a hypocrite and gaslighter of the highest order.
Sick of turning on the news in the morning to see continual live footage about NSW. GladysB get it together so the rest of the states can have some air time on the news about how well they are doing
VicHealth covid19vic
FFS and doesnt think the on going cases of public infection are of no concern to Queensland. She sbould go and take a long cold shower
It’s a concern, because it came from nsw...hush hush
GladysB is an embarrassment
NSW, Not doing so bad. Lets keep it that way C-Virus Update 14 Jan Australia Total Cases 28650, of that Vic 20414, NSW 5041+ Australia Total Death 909, of that Vic 820, NSW 54
This dope should focus on her own state which has the virus out of control due to her incompetent behaviour & kissing Morrison's arse.
Bin chicken should stfu.
Bin Chicken now does stand-up comedy!
Pathetically diverting attention from her own shortcomings and the ABC of course lapping it up. Not a leader, just a Lib.
Oh the irony 🤦🏼♀️ COVIDIOTS nswcovid19 auspol
NSW virus outbreak is a real concern for the Country!
political_alert Getting tired of Gladys playing the diversion game. Nsw opened let it out this time and still can't get it under control let alone find patient zero.
Will she sink to Anastacia’s low levels and close the border ... sorry ... “slam the border shut”
You can check in any time you like, but you can never leave. Welcome to the hotel Corona!
She can't screw her way out of this one... Despite how much Murdoch wants her too
Thank god no other states listens to her.
Gladys Binchicken is ridiculous. Qld is a threat to NSW but apparently not the other way around. “Mopping up” and “a few cases” in NSW actually turns out to be more than a dozen cases where the origin remains unknown. WearAMaskGladys
political_alert “When you don't know how the virus was transmitted, you don't know whether people left the building unintentionally with the virus, that's when it's a real worry,' Ms Berejiklian said. But...NSW answer to go the Avalon an Berala clusters got out of HQ? “We may never know”
GladysB always diplomatic while putting some responsibility back on QLD as they’ve been dishing it out without holding back and closing borders while NSW keeptrackoftheirourbreals and take lions share of international arrivals
Close the border lol
For all of your pontificating it’s come to this. We are not infallible maybe ease up on your finger pointing AnnastaciaMP
Interesting angle from Glad ! Rest of the country concerned about NSW daily cases , her lack of willingness to follow others’ experiences and attitude of it’s everyone one else’s fault ! Good one !
Stay away then madame butterfly 🦋
She has more front than Myers.
Gladys blames...
Just like the Avalon Cluster was of real concern to the Queensland Government
Thank goodness NSW is managing this. Btw please tell Gladys she needs a vacuum not a mop. Mops just spread stuff around
Open the borders she says. So which is it Gladys Bin Chicken?
And the reason for NSW not stopping community transmission, is.
The corrupt bin chicken.
She is lucky it is being managed well in QLD then, isn't she!
The not so subtle art of deflection.
GladysB your lying and subservience to Morrison is a MUCH bigger concern.
Are you for fucking real
desperate for a scapegoat this one is.
NSW spoke very well of Qld on TV channels this morning! Where’s our PM on holidays of course, no state Cabinet meeting for 8 days what a joke!
And NSW community transition is a 'real concern' for everyone else
But constant alerts in NSW? That's cool.
Her unwillingness to wear a mask is concerning for me.
Wow, really? NSW still has community transmission, but Qld's cases in hotel quarantine are the problem?
Her ex boyfriend is a real concern for me
