Queensland police officers in isolation after contact with traveller in quarantine

The man interacted with police while staying at the Rydges hotel in South Brisbane.

Eleven Queensland police officers have been ordered into isolation after they came into contact with a man who tested positive to COVID-19 while in hotel quarantine.

The 41-year-old man, who was a returned traveller, interacted with police while he was staying at Rydges hotel in South Brisbane.

The man tested positive on Sunday.

A Queensland Police Service spokesman said the officers were wearing personal protective equipment in accordance with infection control measures.

"The 11 officers remain in isolation and as of today, all have returned negative tests," the spokesperson said.

"The Queensland Police Service is conducting welfare checks on the members each day and has been able to make arrangements to ensure adequate staffing is in place while they are isolating."
