The UK variant of COVID has broken thru the normal quarantine protocols in Brisbane. The infected worker has done nothing wrong, and when symptoms developed, self isolated and got tested. It's our turn to get tested and wait. A nervous wait.

Breaking, from our daughter, Brisbane will be going into lockdown from midnight tonight until Monday. Haven't confirmed that via news yet.

From 1800 today I think, Bob. For 3 days, so far. Luckily my barge to Moreton is at 1630.

Have to wear a mask if outside, too.

Brisbane lockdown from 6 pm tonight until 6 pm Monday. Masks will be mandatory for greater Brisbane. Stay at home , no more than two visitors, with a good reason to visit.

Yeah, residents of the Sunshine and Gold coasts that visited parts of Brisbane have been asked to voluntarily stay at home , so that those places aren't locked down . I'm happy that this is happening, as the health officer said, once the genie is out of the bottle you can't put it back. No new cases by next week, we can breathe again.

EDIT

Others at risk of infection to self-isolate

Chief Health Officer Jeannette Young has asked anybody who has been in Greater Brisbane since January 2, but are now elsewhere in the state, to self-isolate.
"You isolate yourself for those three days," she said.
"If you are a local resident but have gone off holidaying on the Gold Coast or Sunshine Coast or Cairns, please stay where you are for three days and do not move around your area."
Further restrictions

For the next three days, funerals will be limited to 20 people and weddings 10 people.
Queensland Chief Health Officer Jeannette Young also asked people to not go to any non-essential businesses like hairdressers, nail salons, cinemas and gyms.
Weekend sport has also been called off.
"We need to find every single case now," Dr Young said.
"Until we've found all those people, we can't relax."

You'll cope, we mostly all have at one stage or another.
