Health by Janelle Miles Premium Content Subscriber only The COVID-19 virus has been found in the Princess Alexandra Hospital's Ward 5D despite a "thorough" clean carried out last week. The ward was closed and a deep clean ordered after two separate clusters, affecting four health workers and 19 other people, were linked to the infectious disease ward. Contractors engaged through Queensland's Department of Housing and Public Works cleaned the ward last week. But a Metro South Hospital and Health Service spokeswoman said further cleaning would be carried out today after testing still showed COVID-19 virus in the ward.
