Queensland will not go into lockdown despite the husband of a Covid-infected Melbourne woman who broke lockdown rules to go on an interstate road trip also testing positive.
The 44-year-old woman left Melbourne on June 1 during Victoria s statewide stage three lockdown restrictions - travelling by car through regional NSW and Queensland.
She tested positive to Covid-19 on June 8 at Caloundra on the Sunshine Coast, with her husband now also returning a positive result.
The woman is understood to have been tested only because her husband needed negative results for work purposes.
Queensland Chief Health Officer Dr Jeanette Young has held off on tightening Covid-19 restrictions though as it is believed the pair were unlikely to have been highly-infectious while on the Sunshine Coast.
Several New South Wales towns are on high alert after a woman with Covid-19 travelled by road from Victoria to Queensland, visiting numerous venue over the four-day trip.
Several regional NSW communities face an anxious wait to see if they have been exposed to the coronavirus after an infected Melbourne woman road tripped through the state for four days.
The woman made stops in Gillenbah, Dubbo, Forbes and Moree on her way to the Sunshine Coast in Queensland, where she tested positive to the virus on Tuesday.
Eleven venues in the four towns have been identified by NSW Health as potential exposure sites, with more expected.
Among them are two service stations, Moree Woolworths, several cafes and the Reading Cinemas in Dubbo.

A radical plan to turn some of the state’s most iconic venues into super vaccination centres is progressing, but they won’t open until there's more supply.
