A tradesman who worked as a ‘male entertainer’ at Byron Bay hen’s party is among five new Covid cases linked to a Queensland cluster. 

The new cases are all linked to a nurse from Brisbane’s Princess Alexandra Hospital and her sister, who spent March 25 to 28 at the holiday hotspot for a bachelorette party. 

On Tuesday it was revealed that the cluster has blown out to at least 10 more people who are infected with deadly UK strain of Covid-19, bringing Queensland’s total number of cases to 15.

Upon returning home to the Gold Coast, the entertainer went to an aged care facility where every resident had already had their first dose of the vaccine.

The nurse and her sister partied in NSW’s Byron Bay (testing site pictured) for a bachelorette party while infected with Covid

Chief Health Officer Dr Jeannette Young said pathology results revealed the nurse has the same genome as a man who was treated in the Princess Alexandra Hospital and tested on March 22.

The nurse worked in the Covid ward on March 18 and then did a night shift on March 23 – but was not dealing with coronavirus infections that night.

‘My hypothesis – and this all has to be tested, this all has to be checked out, this is very preliminary information – is that she has acquired the infection when at work that night,’ Dr Young said.

‘I don’t know whether she’s got it directly from that patient, because she wasn’t working with Covid cases that night, but we have to confirm that, or whether she’s got it from someone else in the hospital.’

Dr Young said five of the cases overnight were linked to the nurse and her sister.

‘They’re all linked cases, and they all attended a party together down in Byron Bay,’ she said. 

Byron Bay residents are being urged to be especially vigilant in monitoring their health and are encouraging anyone with even the mildest symptoms to get tested immediately and self-isolate until told otherwise.

Ghanda Clothing, Tiger Lily, Black Sheep, Quicksilver, Suffolk Bakery and the Park Hotel Bottle Shop are in that category as well as Byron Beach Hotel, The Farm and Suffolk Beachfront Holiday Park. 

NSW Health released an alert on Monday evening saying anyone who had visited the Queensland capital since March 20 must immediately self-isolate and not leave their house until Thursday at 5pm.

The outbreak prompted NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian to residents to brace themselves for another wave of Covid-19. 

NSW recorded zero new cases overnight from 7,300 tests, but Ms Berejiklian said that number was too low for officials to know they hadn’t missed any community transmission of the virus.

The state leader said she ‘would not be surprised’ if Queensland’s outbreak of the highly-contagious B117 UK strain of the virus spread south of the border.

She ruled out though shutting the border despite the Sunshine State announcing 10 new local cases of the virus on Tuesday. 

‘The NSW government is confident we have the provisions in place to get on top of it,’ she said.

‘I hope we do not have any cases arise in New South Wales but I would not be surprised if we did, so we must brace ourselves.

‘We are expecting more cases from Queensland and hopefully most of those cases will be people in isolation, although we have to assume this is an evolving situation.’
