People who lined up for as long as two hours at the Royal Brisbane and Women s Hospital on Saturday night were left furious after being turned away when the COVID-19 testing facility shut at 9pm. The returned Queenslanders and interstate travellers who came out to do the right thing were left disappointed after they were advised by Chief Health Officer Dr Jeanette Young to get tested immediately and isolate if they had been in Melbourne since December 21. As the only testing facility open last night, the RBWH was swamped in the hours following the announcement. The massive line was a mixture of returned Queenslanders and travellers from interstate on Saturday. Picture: David Clark
