Several contact tracing sites have been listed in Cairns and Mission Beach after a person, who was recently in the region, tested positive in the Northern Territory. 

All of the current contact sites listed in Far North Queensland are categorised as 'casual' or 'low risk'.

The person flew from Adelaide to Cairns on Monday morning, 25 October, on flight JQ960 (casual). 

Cairns Domestic Airport's Gate 20 is listed as a low risk site between 9.45am and 10.15am. 

On Wednesday 27 October, the person travelled to Mission Beach, visiting Woolworths at Wongaling Beach between 2.30pm and 3.30pm (casual).

Then on Friday 29 October, the person visited Cairns Central Shopping Centre.

Kmart and Cotton On are listed as 'casual' risk sites on that day, between 10.30am and 11.30am.  

The person then flew from Cairns to Darwin that afternoon.

Gate 21 is listed as a low risk contact site between 12pm and 12.40pm. 

Those considered casual contacts must immediately get tested and isolate until a negative result is received. 

As always, further contact tracing sites are likely to be added as health authorities work through the infectious person's movements.

Main points

  • No new COVID-19 cases have been recorded in Cairns day for the fifth day running
  • Woolworths in the Cairns CBD has been added to the list of close contact exposure sites
  • There have been eight new cases recorded in the state's south-east, all contained in isolation
I don't know how they've done it, but we need to do whatever Cairns did because it's not spread up there.
