15 emergency staff from Brisbane’s Mater Private Hospital will be quarantined for two weeks due to potential exposure to coronavirus. 

An 81-year-old man and a 29-year-old woman were confirmed as the 12th and 13th cases of the virus in Queensland on Thursday afternoon. 

The man had recently returned from Thailand while the woman travelled from London to Brisbane with a stopover in Singapore. 

Queensland Health said they are working to locate those who came into contact with these two most recent cases.
