“We have advised the NZ Ministry of Health of the latest results and they are taking their own protection measures.” The Ministry of Health said in a statement on Friday it was in contact with its Queensland counterparts and would provide updated information “as soon as we can”. Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has been advised of the issue at Brisbane Airport. She said the incident demonstrates the importance of following all appropriate public health measures in place. “It just demonstrates, again, just how important it is on both sides that we had put a lot of work into the arrangements, but just continuing to ensure that they are applied, that we have rigour around them.

The man and his travel partner had been in transit on a flight from Port Moresby, a coronavirus hotspot, and were accidentally allowed into the green zone at the departures terminal on Thursday morning.
The reported breach was in the Hudson Café and the nearby male toilets. New Zealand s Ministry of Health said it had been informed CCTV footage also showed the café table was cleared and cleaned when they left.
The pair shopped for one-and-a-half hours and used public toilets before being retrieved.
They were wearing masks and were socially distancing.
Nearly 400 travellers awaiting three different flights to New Zealand were in the departures terminal at the time.

An international traveller who accidentally entered a ‘green zone’ area of Brisbane’s airport has tested positive to coronavirus.
The traveller was in transit from Papua New Guinea (where the Covid crisis has pushed the health system to the brink of collapse), and, along with one other passenger, was accidentally allowed into the ‘green zone’ of Brisbane International Airport on Thursday morning.

Brisbane International Airport green zone breach update
A passenger involved in a green zone breach at Brisbane International Airport yesterday has tested positive to COVID-19.
Chief Health Officer Dr Jeannette Young has declared the international terminal a venue of concern.
“Anyone who was in the terminal between 9.45am and midday on Thursday, 29 April 2021, should monitor their symptoms and get tested immediately if they feel unwell,” she said.
The man arrived on a flight from Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea, yesterday morning.
He and his travel partner were mistakenly directed to the airport’s green departure zone, instead of the red zone for travellers from higher-risk countries.
