Children at a Brisbane youth detention centre remain in lockdown as health authorities anxiously await coronavirus test results to determine if a staff member could be the state's first community transmission in a month.
As of Friday morning, 56 tests from centre staff and residents had returned negative results, with no other new cases recorded across Queensland. “That is why, no matter how mild your symptoms are or, if people say you've got something, you’re not sure, get yourself tested,” she said. But the state's Chief Health Officer is confident the case was genuine after the woman recorded a second positive coronavirus test.
These are already kids at risk, they must be very scared & stressed right now. I hope for the best outcome possible.
