A local case of COVID-19 detected in Queensland has prompted other state governments to order recent arrivals from the affected area to immediately self-isolate and get tested.
NSW, Tasmania and Western Australia also updated their advice to visitors and travellers but did not impose an order to self-isolate. The changes were put in place after a 26-year-old man from Stafford, in Brisbane's north, tested positive for the coronavirus on Thursday after being infectious in the community for almost a week., a doctor at the Princess Alexandra Hospital infected by the UK variant, but remained a concern because authorities believed there was a mystery infection linking the pair.
The AFL said Lions players, coaches and officials were granted an exemption from the direction but the new restrictions cast doubt on the team's upcoming match with Collingwood, scheduled for Thursday at The Gabba in Brisbane.Lions coach Chris Fagan, who admitted he thought there was a chance the Geelong game could be called off, said the club hadn't received any information from the AFL about a change in plans."That could change. As we know, life changes pretty quickly these days.
