Health authorities in New South Wales (NSW) are on alert after two Queensland women infectious with the CCP virus visited several venues in Byron Bay, a tourist hotspot near the state’s northern border.
This comes after Queensland imposed a snap three-day lockdown for the Greater Brisbane area on Monday after recording four locally-acquired cases of the UK strain of COVID-19, the disease caused by the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus.
