The 63-year-old woman is currently in isolation at the Gold Coast University Hospital after testing positive for COVID-19. She is in a stable condition.
The beautician began to feel unwell at work that and spoke to her manager before leaving to seek medical help.“She did everything perfectly, we couldn’t have asked more of her,” Dr Young said, describing the woman as a “highly intelligent, very sensible lady”. “But we know they don’t have records of a lot of these clients because a lot pay by cash and they just come in, it’s a very short interaction.”
Queensland chief health officer Dr Jeannette Young said the woman had recently returned from Iran.

On Friday a second case of unknown origin emerged in California, with a 65-year-old man from Santa Clara Contry diagnosed with coronavirus.the man had no known history of travelling to areas where outbreaks had occurred and lived more than 140 kilometres away from the Solano County patient.The state’s first and only coronavirus clinic is located next to the emergency department of the Royal Prince Alfred Hospital in Sydney’s inner west.

“Those needing assessment for coronavirus are encouraged to ring ahead to the hospital,” NSW Health told news.com.au.
Why are they not testing having some kind of system in place for return travelers from any of the countries with high numbers of corona cases. I would have thought bio security would have been onto that. It’ll be all over Oz soon
The whole shopping centre will be getting it, as it lives in the air conditioning 😳
Ony 40? You do understand multiplication yes? 1 person x infects 40 = 40 40 people x infects 10 ea = 400 400 people x infects 10 ea= 4,000 WorstCase Pandemic 1% death rate = 40 dead.
The coronavirus outbreak in Australia will be caused by someone coming from Iran not china how ironic
From The Age newspaper “Why were the Australians ahead of the world? For a very simple reason. They don't trust the WHO. The information from multiple international sources is that the WHO is under intense pressure from the Chinese government, and succumbing to it.”
It’s mild illness in most. Serious only in old and medically compromised!! Yes the spread has to be contained and self quarantine should be practiced if there is travel history to and from high risk areas!
serehfas That's it then .... hang on Australia.
For comparison influenza killed nearly 200,000 people worldwide last year, with a similar mortality rate to this virus. This would have to be one of the biggest media beat ups in recent times. Nearly 50% of corona virus patients experience no symptoms as per Italy's experience.
FalseFlag
It's possible to contain something like this unfortunately. Focus must be on vaccine development and just try your best to not get sick. If you do, stay home , rest, drink fluids and recover. Many infected never even got a fever.
containment , it's a bit too late . Many will get this flu and 'most' will recover

We’re all fkd.
It’s just the flu. Don’t worry about it
Self-contained my foot.
I’m sorry. I disagree with Dr Young. The lady from the Hair salon in Australia Fair DID NOT DO THE RIGHT THING. If you have travelled from China, South Korea, Japan, Italy, Iran, then YOU SHOULD SELF QUARANTINE FOR 14 DAYS! coronavirusaustralia coronavirus COVID2019
It’s Southport The place is practically a quarantine zone anyway
How good is inadequate border control. Have a go, get a go.
FlorianHeiseAus That used to be my favourite place to shop, back in the day. 😳
Wait. So did she work Tuesday and Wednesday? I feel like that should have been made clearer, no? Just cause she felt sick Thurs doesn't mean she wasn't infectious beforehand. Hope she makes a full recovery.
COVID19 does not discriminate - it was only a matter of time til it got here. 🦠 It is extremely contagious & people can go 27 days before showing symptoms = Next to impossible to contain. ❤️ Keep calm. Prepare yourself & read this by MackayIM
Get a facial, go to the Sydney Mardi Gras..
Arrived from Iran with growing infection rate via 2 flights & no quarantine....that makes no sense
And now it will spread
Oh dear, that place is on its last legs anyway...now this!
Here it goes ! Let’s see how fast it starts to spread
A YouTuber shares her opinion on the virus suggesting it is the 5G network
I think we can now safely say that the left wing, free trade, open borders, mentality is not the way to go. The international airports are the cause of our concern. From China to Italy and the Middle East- just like the ships in 1347.
DaveMyFace May have? Whoopee.
And I thought we were told things were under control... oh that was jus so we could open the doors to paying chinese students
rip to all the boys that live on gc 🙏

Didn’t read the article. Pretty sure I don’t want too. Answers to stopping the spread are simple. Stop greed and corruption.
Wow! Aussie participates in the coronavirus race now.
chrismartenson Australia to breakout soon in COVID19
GregHuntMP everyone entering Oz from these countries should be tested - it only takes a few hours to obtain results
LamponeAl We’re ALL exposed. In reality unless every way into our Country’s was shut down for 6mths, the moment the Authorities were aware of the virus, we were all going to catch it. Not one of them had the will to do it. Makes you wonder what they would do if it was fatal to everyone? 🤔
What I don’t understand, is why our TV stations haven’t screened the movie Contagion. Would rate its socks off. coronavirus
The lnp have been promoting the casualisation of the workforce. These people have to go to work sick or they don't get paid. Casuals in hospo, retail, health care, disability/aged care, education, everywhere!
But Records saying 25 as of now.
This is what you get for allowing high-risk entrants into Australia. Massive amount of work now and stretched resources.
Got a feeling more then 40 people have been exposed 😳
What a failure of border security customs and the government...absolute disgrace
Concerned about the people she treated. How about the people she sat with on the plane? How did she travel home from the airport and to work? Did she go shopping since her return? How many family members or friends has she hugged/kissed/shook hands with? Tip of the iceberg...
And it begins
AlexSaundersAU A low interaction facial? .... right
What if some of the 40 go to the Queen concert tonight too
Stop spreading panic when you admit in the article the risk of her infecting anyone is incredibly low and the 40 includes people she merely spoke to
GregHuntMP Why are we still letting flights in from Iran, Italy etc when we know there are serious outbreaks in those countries? Or have we completely given up on containment now? auspol Covid19Australia GoldCoast
What about the plane ride home and all the other places she has been since she came home?
What about those in the plane back to Aus from Iran, her family, everyone she has interacted with between returning to Australia and now. Anyone at the shopping centre during that time where she walked to and from work or breaks. It’ll be a lot more than 40
Worked doing facials at a beauty parlor. What could possibly go wrong? Why is Australia still only doing tests AFTER symptoms appear?
She has arrived into Aus from Iran who has a death toll of 210 from Corona sat on a plane with god no’s how many people was never checked & went to work a shopping centre. That is scary stuff
Only 40?
Get it sorted up there, I’m coming up in a few weeks to spend my hard earned. holidayhome

DolphinsAUS USASwimming I just wonder wether fina1908 are going to sacked as the governing body of swimming ? A lot of their findings have been mind boggling to say the least.
