Council following Queensland Health advice regarding Covid-19 outbreak in Greater Brisbane
Gladstone Regional Council is following advice from Queensland Health and the Chief Health Officer (CHO) regarding the current COVID-19 outbreak in Greater Brisbane.
This morning it was announced that Greater Brisbane, including the local government areas of Brisbane, Ipswich, Moreton Bay, Logan and Redlands would go into a three-day lockdown from 5pm today.
The lockdown is in response to four confirmed cases of community transmission in Brisbane.

This person visited the following venues:
- 25 March – Gin Gin Bakery 1.26pm-1.33pm

Anyone who has attended these venues on the above dates is being advised to get tested immediately.
Gladstone’s COVID-19 testing facility is located at Gladstone Hospital.
Primary close contacts of the infected person have been contacted, tested and returned negative results.
At this stage Queensland Health has not enforced a three-day lockdown on Gladstone or the Gladstone Region.
