Health authorities say the next 24 hours will be critical in monitoring the latest COVID-19 outbreak in Queensland.
While no lockdown was announced yesterday, Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk said she would not rule it out.
"Over the next 24 to 48 hours, we'll be closely monitoring the situation and if we start seeing any seeding, then we may have to take very quick fast action," Ms Palaszczuk said.
Chief Health Officer Jeannette Young asked residents in suburbs south of Brisbane to be vigilant.
"I just need everyone now, particularly in that Mount Gravatt area, in that northern Logan area, southern Brisbane area, it's really, really important, that if you have any symptoms whatsoever you go and immediately get tested so we can find if we've had any further spread of this particular outbreak," Dr Young said.
She said restrictions had been put in place to protect vulnerable people.
"I asked all of the aged care facilities, hospitals, disability care services and prisons within the Logan and South Brisbane areas, so the part of Brisbane City Council south of the river, to limit visitors except for end-of-life reasons," Dr Young said.
Her message to the rest of the state was clear.
Health authorities remain hopeful that the virus has been detected within the first generation of transmission.
The Premier thanked the parents of the 13-year-old, who had a headache when her mother took her to get tested.
"I really want to thank the parents, the mother who took her child to get tested, because to identify this so early has been a godsend," Ms Palaszczuk said.
Families enter home quarantine
The outbreak has seen 1,000 families enter home quarantine.
One of those is the Weekes family, who are deemed close contacts of the 13-year-old girl through the St Thomas More College at Sunnybank in Brisbane's south.
Mum Ebonie, who is a cleaner, is now unable to work. Her husband works from home where they will be with their three teenage boys for the next 14 days.
"We all just went this morning and had our COVID tests, so just waiting on our results and sitting here doing nothing," Ms Weekes said.
"It's a bit stressful because it's not like lockdown where you can still go out for essential stuff -- we can't," she said.
