COVID-19 has been detected in the water entering Sandgate’s sewerage treatment plant.
This testing does not tell us whether the people who shed the virus were sick or infectious at the time. This kind of result could also occur if someone who was a case from another region passed through Brisbane.
There has been an overseas acquired case hospitalised and residing in the catchment area which could account for the detection.
We’re asking residents to get tested if showing any symptoms, even if mild, as a precaution to keep our community safe.
Testing is free for everyone including foreign nationals. People should stay home until they are well and their test is clear.
Our Metro North hospitals are open and available for testing all weekend. For more information on testing locations visit: www.qld.gov.au/health/conditions/health-alerts/coronavirus-covid-19/stay-informed/testing-and-fev...

Repeat after me: turn 👏 off 👏 your 👏 phone 👏 before 👏 bed! Get away from screens and turn off notifications at least an hour before you hit the hay so your eyes can readjust and your mind can calm down from phone or TV activity.
Exposure to blue light suppresses the production of melatonin, a hormone which contributes to the regulation of sleep and wake cycles. Try this tonight and let us know tomorrow in the comments if it led to a good night's sleep.
