NSW Health urges anyone who travelled on the Qatar Airways QR908 flight from Qatar to Sydney to “isolate themselves” and then seek a health assessment if they believe they have symptoms of coronavirus. A woman in her 50s on the flight is confirmed as the state’s sixth case of COVID-19. Crucially, the passenger didn’t visit the hospital until six days later.
On Monday afternoon, NSW chief medical officer Brendan Murphy says it is “no longer possible” to prevent new cases of coronavirus from entering Australia. He advises anyone returning from Italy or South Korea not to attend their regular work for 14 days. He says, “We have got concerns about Japan and South Korea. They are working hard to control their outbreaks, but we are still concerned that people in those countries may present with an infection.”
