Logan and Gold Coast residents are urged to get tested for COVID-19 if symptomatic after fragments of the virus were detected in sewage.
The viral fragments were found in Pimpama, Coombabah, Merrimac and Loganholme.
State Acting Chief Health Officer Dr Sonya Bennett says getting tested is more important than ever as new variants continue to emerge overseas.
“While it’s possible that these detections relate to previous COVID-19 cases, who can shed viral fragments for a couple of months after they are no longer infectious, it is concerning that there have been three detections on the Gold Coast over the same testing period,” Dr Bennett said.
