Some passengers on board three flights to New Zealand caught up in the Brisbane International Airport Covid-19 green zone breach have been told to immediately isolate. The Ministry of Health was last night advised by the Queensland health authorities of an upgraded risk for some passengers on three flights that left Brisbane airport on Thursday afternoon. Brisbane International Airport was announced a "venue of concern" today after a passenger who had travelled from Papua New Guinea and mingled with passengers bound for New Zealand tested positive for Covid-19. Almost 400 passengers who flew to New Zealand from Brisbane have potentially been exposed to the virus. Now passengers who were in two locations of interest at specified times at Brisbane International Airport are considered "casual-plus contacts".
