Two new close contact exposure sites were added to Queensland Health's website on Saturday afternoon.

A liquor shop and a seafood restaurant in Morayfield were both visited on Sunday, July 18 between 4.00pm and 4.30pm.

Six flights crewed by a flight attendant who tested positive for the Delta variant of COVID-19 on Thursday were updated from casual to close contact exposure sites.

The flights were between Brisbane, Hervey Bay, Gladstone and Longreach on July 11 and 12.

Queensland Health said the changes were made after new information about the woman's case came to light.

They would not reveal exactly what information they had but suggested it could be linked to her infectious period.

The Morayfield locations were initially listed as casual but were upgraded "almost instantaneously", Queensland Health said.

Queensland Health has identified the following exposure sites from the flight attendant:

  • July 11 — Brisbane to Longreach, Qantas flight 2534
  • July 11 — Longreach to Brisbane, Qantas flight 2535
