After a 'person of interest' tests positive for COVID-19, Queensland records its second new community case.
On Brisbane and Moreton Bay's first full day out of lockdown, a second case of COVID-19 was discovered.
Further testing revealed that a man who had been a close contact of the Greek Community Centre had tested positive.
Contract tracing is underway, and three new Sunshine Coast exposure locations will be added to the list, according to Queensland Health.
On Thursday, July 1 and Friday, July 2, the Blended Health Bar in Noosa Heads, the Eumundi Village Pharmacy, and Humdrum Espresso in Eumundi will be open.
Another close contact of the community center, who had been in home isolation since Friday, was infected with the Alpha form earlier on Sunday, according to health officials.
Both instances are connected to a growing outbreak in Portuguese community centers.
One of the new cases, according to Chief Health Officer Jeannette Young, was a returned overseas guest in hotel quarantine.
"The second... was placed in home quarantine on July 2 since they were a close contact of the Greek Community Centre," Dr. Young explained.
"They've been admitted to the hospital presently." Another person of interest, a close contact from the Greek community center, is the subject of further investigation.
"In the end, this is a good thing. These are Alpha cases, and we know they're linked to the outbreak we're dealing with."
The total number of current cases in Queensland now stands at 47.
Dr Young also disclosed that the case of a man in his 50s from Carindale who works as a luggage handler at Brisbane Domestic Airport was a false positive from yesterday's Covid-19 update.
"We want to thank you," Ms D'Ath said, "just as we did last year when we had tens of thousands of individuals who were compelled to quarantine in their own homes for 14 days, which we know is not easy."
She reminded everyone that starting this Friday, all businesses must use the Queensland Check In app to check in.
"Get that QR code up outside your shop, and make sure someone is checking to see if customers have checked in before they wander around your grocery, restaurant, cafe, or business," Ms D'Ath advised.
"They tested 700 people at the two airports, and one person was found to be positive," she claimed.
"We went back and repeated the test, numerous times on different platforms, and it proved that it was a false positive... So that individual was not a case, which is excellent."
Yvette D'Ath, the Minister of Health, announced that 4,330 persons were now "forced by law to live in quarantine at home."
