A man who underwent brain cancer surgery in New South Wales has been allowed to quarantine in his home in Queensland after public backlash at the strict border restrictions.
Upon returning to Brisbane, Queensland Health denied an exemption to quarantine at home and instead required them to isolate in a hotel.
Gary Ralph says he was advised by Queensland Health to catch an Uber or a taxi from the hotel for his chemotherapy treatments during quarantine.
The exemption was granted after Health Minister Stephen Miles addressed the issue with Queensland Health.
