A QLD Health spokesperson has confirmed the housemate of a 20-year-old male from China who was diagnosed with coronavirus (COVID-19) earlier this week has tested negative for the virus.

He will self-quarantine in his Toowong home for 14 days due to close contact with his housemate, who was confirmed to have the virus on 3 March 2020. 

If you or anyone you know has any concerns relating to coronavirus, please call 13 HEALTH or contact your GP or local hospital. If you plan to visit in person, it is recommended you call prior to arrival so practitioners can make arrangements to protect other patients.
