A Queensland Health spokesperson stated that the person “didn’t stop anywhere in the Burnett’ and ‘contact tracing for that person was finished’.

Anyone who had been at the public toilets between 9am and 11.59pm on Saturday should get a covid-19 test.

“Contact tracing for this particular case has finished, so no new locations will be announced for the person in question.
