Queensland's latest COVID-19 case has highlighted the strength of the state's contact tracing regime.
Chief Health Officer Dr Jeannette Young today thanked the thousands of Queenslanders, including confirmed cases, close contacts and venue operators, who have helped contain the Greater Brisbane area's two clusters.
Three new cases were announced today, including a locally acquired case linked to Brisbane's northside cluster.
The man attended the Black Hops Brewery in East Brisbane at the same time as a confirmed case on 20 March.
He was identified as a close contact on 27 March and went into quarantine. His initial test while in quarantine was negative.
Chief Health Officer Dr Jeannette Young said the man became unwell and was diagnosed with the UK variant when tested a second time.
"This means that he has been in quarantine for his entire infectious period and there is no risk to the public," she said.
"This individual has been a model case. He has done everything right and as a result, he has not infected anyone else in the community.
