Queensland Chief Health Officer Jeannette Young s new aged care direction comes amid a visitor ban on nursing homes, disability accommodation, hospitals and prisons until at least April 15, except in end-of-life situations. The ban was imposed amid concerns about community transmission of the COVID-19 virus after two separate clusters emerged out of the Princess Alexandra Hospital s Ward 5D last month.
