The Queensland government is looking at using some of the mining camps in the state as quarantine facilities as it faces down potential future outbreaks of the CCP virus, which health authorities have said will likely be dominated by the more transmissible UK strain.
Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk told reporters on Thursday that she will put the idea forward as an option to the federal government for discussion over the next few days.
