by James Hall 2nd Apr 2021 10:08 AM Health authorities believe they have solved the mystery connection between the two Brisbane clusters which triggered a snap lockdown. The Sunshine State reported one new locally acquired case on Friday a historical infection of a nurse who worked at the Princess Alexandra Hospital. It is assumed this nurse was infected by the same returning traveller being treated at the Brisbane hospital as the original infection in a doctor on March 10. This nurse did not fall ill, but passed the deadly virus on to her partner who then became the source of the cluster which spread across Brisbane s inner north.
