Dismiss Queensland Health traces UK case but no new infections overnight Normal text size Advertisement Though there have been no new locally transmitted cases of COVID-19 in Queensland overnight, a new case of the more contagious UK strain has emerged in isolation. The woman, who had travelled from the UK via Melbourne, has been in the Sunshine Coast community with the UK strain since January 5, albeit with a low risk. Queensland Health is urgently investigating after the woman flew into Melbourne on December 26, tested positive for COVID-19 there the following day. After serving 10 days in quarantine, she then tested positive to the new, more infectious UK COVID-19 strain on Friday in Queensland.
