The Queensland government is shutting a quarantine hotel after six people staying there contracted the deadly UK strain of COVID-19.

Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk says all six cases in the COVID-19 cluster stayed on the seventh floor of Brisbane’s Grand Chancellor Hotel while in quarantine. They are all in isolation.
