Queensland has recorded another single-digit rise in coronavirus cases overnight, taking the state total to 1007. Health Minister Steven Miles said one of the six positive cases overnight was that of a health worker in Cairns, who was in contact with another confirmed case. Mr Miles said it was “very unlikely” virus was contracted through their work at the Cairns Hospital’s pathology lab. Mr Miles said there were 19 coronavirus patients in Queensland, 11 of them in intensive care and nine requiring ventilation.
