14.01.2022 In our latest Q&A, Queenslands Chief Health Officer Dr Jeannette Young answers some questions about testing for Coronavirus (COVID-19). Questions to look out ...for in this Q&A include: Can I get tested if I dont have symptoms? Why are you doing this now, why wasnt it done sooner? Will there be follow up testing for groups? What about false negatives? What happens while you are waiting for the test results? Do I have to quarantine, does my family? Does this mean we can open the borders sooner? Is this forced testing? Can I refuse/say no? Is testing going to be done at work or do I need to go to a clinic/hospital? But I dont have any symptoms. Does this mean the test does work on asymptomatic people? Do I have to pay for the test? How long does it take to get the results? See more

13.01.2022 In response to the announcement by Mrs Joan Pease MP for Lytton, Ms Elizabeth R Thomson, Chair of the Winnam Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Corporation (Winnam) said The proposal to repurpose the former Wynnum Hospital site represents an important bilateral opportunity to immediately advance the recent commitments given by Government through signing the new Partnership Agreement on Closing the Gap (2019-2029). Under the leadership and guidance of Winnam, a consortia ...of four Indigenous organisations have come together as a partnership to create this unique project, which is a first for Australia. This is an innovative concept of delivering services across the spectrum of life such as aged care, allied health, child care and provide employment opportunities for the Quandamooka people and the surrounding community Ms Thomson said. In the future, new services will be initiated on site that have not previously been available to the community which might include disability and low-cost housing, and a cultural precinct and gathering place. These new services will benefit not only the Bayside community but all of South-East Queensland. Closing the Gap is a crucial vision and goal for all levels of government in our country. This project will be an important step in addressing the needs of Indigenous Australians and demonstrate how such innovative services can be integrated into the wider community. The Winnam project team has worked long and hard for almost four years to achieve this fantastic outcome announced today. Ms Thomson added, Winnam is so proud of this project that we are going to document its growth and emergence as a wonderful illustration of Indigenous success. We will connect with selected media to tell this unique story as we want to share this with every Australian.

09.01.2022 Queensland has 1 confirmed case of coronavirus (COVID-19) today. There are currently 5 active cases of COVID-19 in Queensland. Of these, 2 people are being trea...ted in hospital. 1 person is in ICU. To date, 1,047 people have recovered and sadly, 6 people have died of the disease. The current state total is 1,059*. Following todays update relating to an earlier reported death at Blackwater, formal advice from the Coroner is that the mans death is not related to COVID-19. As such, Queensland Health has removed the death from the case numbers, revising Queenslands death total down to 6. While the death has been removed, the total cases for Queensland remains at 1,059*. This is because the case is consistent with the national definition of a confirmed COVID-19 case.
