Mystery case: A 13-year-old from St Thomas More College has tested positive to COVID-19.

QUEENSLAND has recorded one new community case of COVID-19 after a 13-year-old student from St Thomas More College, Sunnybank, tested positive to the virus. 

Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk said the students had been sent home as a “precaution” and the case was “under investigation”.

The student case was one of two cases announced today, the other coming from hotel quarantine.

It is yet unknown if the case is linked to last night’s announcement of the eighth COVID-positive truck driver, who passed from New South Wales to Queensland.

This truck driver had visited high-density shopping centres across the southside of Brisbane, with a full list of exposure sites on the Queensland Health website.

Chief Health Officer Dr Jeanette Young said the truck driver had been infectious in the community last Sunday and Monday and his movement was still being traced.

Dr Young said thousands of drivers a day crossed the border and holding them up “would be difficult”, but authorities continued to look at the situation.

The new case comes as the Queensland Government announced it would reinstate its border bubble with New South Wales. 

Ms Palaszczuk said it was “great news” the border bubble could open again.

It is set to function as it had previously, she said.
