'These people have to live with their decisions': Urgent COVID-19 contact tracing and testing underway in Logan and Brisbane's southside

University of Queensland Associate Professor of Virology Ian Mackay said Queenslanders should expect to see this kind of transmission from other states occur.

"I think we're going to keep seeing things like this happen … it shouldn't be a surprising event," he said. "It's disappointing that people may have fabricated their journey to get here and not been honest about that. "Down the track, if this were to spin into a bigger outbreak, those people have to live with their decisions here."are being urged to immediately self-quarantine and contact authorities."We can hope that in those places that they've gone to they haven't spent too long with other people, face-to-face at a close distance," he said.

"That's where the risks are … if that has happened, there will be the chance more cases will spin out of this."While the new cases were announced, Queensland also closed its border to all of Greater Sydney, meaning the more than 5 million people who live there cannot travel to Queensland, with few exemptions being granted.

ABCscience Imagine single-handedly causing another wave because you wanted to get chatime, the red rooster of bubble tea

They will never have to live with thier decisions. The way they acted takes selfishness, ignorance & a complete lack of conscience. To them, actions have no consequence and their impact on others is irrelevant. Being previously fined for partying in Melb didn’t deter them one bit

ScottMorrisonMP I lay blame for this directly at your feet. Your cavalier, self-serving, bully-boy attitude has emboldened the weak-minded in our community to openly flout State health directives, all in the name of attempting to recharge an already failling economy. COVIDIOTS

How irresponsible can you get.

Yep and that includes Dog Andrews.

6 months jail

Sadly, the people they have infected may die because of their decision.

Not just Brisbane but so does the rest of Queensland now. Name and shame
