Queensland currently has 30 active cases of coronavirus, with three new cases diagnosed in the past 24 hours. The Sunshine Coast Hospital and Health District, which Gympie is part of, has four active cases. The SCHHD is one of multiple Queensland Health Districts to acquire the rapid COVID testing machines known as Panthers . The $275,000 Hologic Panther Fusion machine can diagnose COVID-19, influenza and other respiratory conditions in about three hours. The Gympie Hospital has applauded the 4000 Gympie region residents who have been tested for COVID-19.
