61 Qantas passengers urged to isolate
Dozens of Qantas passengers onboard a Launceston to Melbourne flight earlier this month are being urged to get tested and self-isolate after a vaccinated health care worker tested positive for COVID-19 shortly after his connecting flight to the UK. In total, 61 passengers on Qantas flight QF1542 to Melbourne from Tasmania on 2 July are affected, after the man initially tested negative for COVID prior to boarding the flight. The man spent around four hours in Melbourne before boarding his connecting flight to the UK via Singapore, flight SQ228. More than 72 hours after leaving Melbourne, the man returned a positive COVID-19 test. Authorities have said the order for other passengers onboard QF1542 to test and self-isolate is being made out of an abundance of caution, as currently it is believed the man actually contracted the virus in transit between Singapore and the UK.<br/>
