QLD On Edge After Flight Attendant Carries Delta Into The State

Queenslanders are anxiously awaiting the latest covid-19 case numbers which could potentially be linked to a flight attendant who was believed to be infectious while on six flights.

The Qantas flight attendant tested positive to the virus after working six different flights between July 11 and 12 while infectious.

The northern Brisbane woman works as a flight attendant for Qantas regional routes and came forward to be tested two days ago.

Results and genomic sequencing from the woman's test results prove that she has the highly contagious Delta strain that is currently plaguing Sydney.
